CHARLTON HESTON: THE HOUSE REVEALS A LOT ABOUT THE MAN

We are still REELING with joy from a visit to the home of the late Charlton Heston. (Estate sale) Much of what we remember about the actor was negatively tied to his NRA association. But he was a much different person than we imagined. He built his Coldwater Canyon dream house in 1959 with Ben Hur money and the help of architect William S Beckett. And he cherished every carefully thought-out inch of it. (Incredible!) The actor was far more intellectual than we expected – his library and book collection was amazing. And his appreciation of art was evident in his huge collection. Heston was married to his wife Lydia for 65 years until he died, and his two children are both educated and successful and admired their father. Forget politics. He was evidently a decent and intelligent man. Could you ask for more?

DID YOU KNOW PAUL NEWMAN WAS A DECORATED WWII SAILOR?

Some things never go out of style – like Paul Newman’s FACE! The WOW Report dug up these photos of the actor when he was only 18 and in the US Navy. He aspired to becoming a pilot but those luscious lue eyes were unfortunately color blind so he ended up as a gunner. We all know what happened when he got out of the service. This glorious actor died in 2008 but the food company he left behind is still pumping hundreds of millions of dollars into his favorite charities.

CHARLTON HESTON WAS AHEAD OF HIS TIME IN SOYLENT GREEN

We cannot let the death of our namesake, Charlton Heston, slip by without a mention, because he made one of our all time FAVORITE movies. Politics aside, we have to love Charlton for his classic science fiction movie “Soylent Green.” It gave us a big scare because it depicted life in the future as hideously overpopulated, disastrously polluted, and fresh food was just a memory. Death seemed like a pleasant option. Seeing everyone standing in line for water rations, sweating profusely day and night in the yellow atmosphere, made us worry about the environment before it became fashionable. If you missed this film, rent it right away. Presumably, Al Gore already has.
