I absolutely loved him as Judah Ben Hur in Ben Hur and Colonel George Taylor in the Planet of the Apes, a man known for playing heroic roles, Charlton Heston died in his Beverly Hills Residence at the age of 84. The reason of his demise has not yet been confirmed but it could possibly have been his long-term illness, as he himself owned up a couple of years ago that he had Symptoms of Alzheimer???s disease coupled with the fact that he also had Prostrate Cancer which was detected a decade ago and was later treated into a remission. Heston is survived by his Wife Lydia. A true legend from the times of yore, who lived like one till his last, would be remembered as one of the greatest actors of all time.
