In this video I share with you the two times I met celebrity film star Charlton Heston.
I was grateful to have met Mr. Heston in my hometown Stockton, CA in 1996 before I moved to Hollywood, CA to pursue an acting career. I was working a catering event for Papapovlo's and served Mr. Heston some coffee and/or wine as I recall.
In 1998 I met him again at the Governor's Ball and had my picture taken with him. That was a memorable year because the film "Titanic" starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslett won an Oscar for best picture. My friend Paul Walter took a picture of Kate and I about the time I ran into Mr. Heston.
I'll always remember Mr. Heston's outstanding performance in Cecil B DeMille's "The Ten Commandments" which I use to watch as a teenager.
NOTE: Many people don't know but Mr. Heston kept a journal from 1950-1970 detailing his Hollywood film career.
Two of my favorites films which included tremendous musical scores were "The Ten
Commandments" and "Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ" which featured Charlton Heston
playing Moses and Mr. Heston playing the fictional character Judah Ben-Hur.
Buy or rent these two films if you haven't already seen them. Both are inspiring.
