' Heston left political mark to rival cinematic legacy David Germain THE ASSOCIATED LOS ANGELES -- Nancy Reagan was heartbroken over Charlton Heston's death. . President Bush hailed him as a "strong advocate for liberty," while John McCain called Heston a devotee for civil and constitutional rights. Even Michael Moore, who mocked Heston in his documentary "Bowling for Columbine," posted the actor's picture on his Web site to mark his passing. Heston, who died Saturday night at 84, was a towering figure both in his politics and on screen, where his characters had the ear of God (Moses in "The Ten Commandments"), survived apocalyptic plagues ("The Omega Man") and endured one of Hollywood's g action sequences (the chariot race in "Ben-Hurwhich earned him the best-actAcademy Award), Better known in recent years as a fierce advocate who headed the National Rifle Association, Heston played legendary leaders and ordinary men hurled into heroic struggles. "In taking on epic and commanding roles, he showed himself to be one of our ; nation's most gifted actors, and his legacy will forever be a part of our cinema," Republican presidential candidate McCain said in a statement that also noted Heston's involvement in the movement and his stand against gun control. Heston's jutting jaw, regal bearing and booming voice served him well as Marc Antony in "Julius Caesar" and "Antony and Cleopatra," Michelangelo in "The Agony and the Ecstasy," John the Baptist in "The Greatest Story Ever Told" and an astronaut on a topsy-turvworld where simians rule in "Planet of the Apes." "Charlton Heston was seen by the world as larger than , life," Heston's family said in a statement. "We knew him as an adoring husband, a kind and devoted father, and . a gentle grandfather with an infectious sense of humor. He served these far greater roles with tremendous faith, courV age and dignity." The actor died at his home in Beverly Hills with his wife, Lydia, at his side, family spokesman Bill Powers said. He declined to comment on the cause of death or provide further details Sunday. One of the biggest box-of- ? f ice draws of the 1950s, '60s r and 70s, Heston's work dwindled largely to small parts and narration and other voice roles from the 1980s on, including an uncredited cameo as an ape in Tim Burton's 2001 remake of "Planet of the Apes." Shirley Jones, who with Heston in one of his last leading roles in the 1999 drama "Gideon," said his talent as an actor sometimes is forgotten because of the epic characters he played. "To me, he was the consummate leading man. He was ; tall, he was handsome, he was sensitive, he was gruff when he had to be. He was a great cowboy, he was perfect for those historical roles," Jones said. "He could do everything, and there arent many actors around today who could." In 2002, near the end of his five years as president of the NRA, Heston disclosed he had mptoms consistent with Alzheimer's disease. The disclosure was soon followed by an unflattering appearance in Moore's 2003 best documentary winner "Bowling for Columbine," which took America to task for its gun '. laws. , Moore used a clip of Heston holding aloft a rifle at an NRA rally and proclaiming "from my cold, dead hands." The director flustered the actor in an interview later in the film by pressing him on his stance. Heston eventually walked out on Moore.

There was no other reaction on the site from Moore about Heston's death. Moore did not immediately respond to and phone requests seeking comment. V Jones, who worked with Heston on "Gideon" near the. beginning of his tenure as NRA president, said she discussed gun control with him and came to respect his stand, even though she disagreed with it. She said he told her his family grew up poor in the country and "had to go out and kill a deer if we wanted meat." "He was a caring, sweet gentleman who believed in his country," Jones said. "He believed the Constitution said it's OK, we have to defend . ourselves." Like fellow conservative Ronald Reagan, Heston served as president of the Screen Actors Guild. Former first lady Nancy Reagan said in a statement that she was heartbroken to hear of his death. "He was one of Ronnie's and my dearest friends," she said "I will never forget Chuck as a hero on the big screen in the roles he played, but more importantly I considered him a hero in life for the many times that he stepped up to support Ronnie in whatever he was doing." Bush who in 2003 presented Heston the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation's highest civilian honor called Heston a "man of character and integrity, with a big heart." Decades before his NRA leadership, Heston was a strong advocate for civil rights in the 1960s, joining marches and offering financial assistance. leaders in Los Angeles held a moment of silence in Heston's memory Sunday after an unrelated news conference. Heston had contributed and raised thousands of dollars in Hollywood for Martin Luther King Jr.'s movement, said Earl Ofari Hutchinson, president of . the Los Angeles Urban Policy Round Table. "We certainly disagree with his position as NRA head and also his firm, firm, unwavering support of the unlimited right to bear arms," Hutchin--so- n said. But, he added, "Charlton Heston was a complex individual He lived a long time, and certainly, there were many phases. The phases we prefer to remember were certainly his contributions to Dr. King and civil rights." Fans remember Heston for some of the most epic mo-Civil-righ- ts j .
