Biography
American actor with a commanding
physical presence and a legacy that includes over 100 films, several
books, and leadership roles in the Screen Actors’ Guild and the National
Rifle Association. Heston won an Oscar for his role in "Ben Hur." He is
equally well-known for his memorable screen performances in a variety of
other roles including Moses in "The Ten Commandments," Marc Anthony in
“Anthony and Cleopatra” earthling George Taylor in “Planet of the Apes,”
a narcotics investigator in “Touch of Evil” and a cowboy in "The Big
Country."
Heston grew up in Michigan. In 1941 he enrolled in Northwestern
University where he studied speech and drama and performed in college
shows and in radio dramas. He first appeared before the camera in an
amateur production of "Peer Gynt" in 1942. After a three-year tour of
duty in the Air Force as a radio-gunner from 1944-1947, he returned to
the U.S. to debut in a Broadway production of Shakespeare’s "Anthony and
Cleopatra." His early career consisted of a series of TV roles in the
late 1940s, until he made his film debut in "Dark City," 1950. His
performance in the award winning movie “The Greatest Show on Earth”
(1952) and his subsequent role as Moses in “The Ten Commandments” (1956)
ensured a place on the list of Hollywood greats. “Ben-Hur” and
subsequent performances cemented his fame. He continued working well
into his early 80s, with more than a hundred films to his credit.
An inveterate diarist and letter writer, Heston is the author of several
books and dozens of missives to the newspapers. His autobiography, "The
Actor's Life: A Journal," covers his life from 1956-1976. "Beijing
Diary: 1990" is a lively account of his trip to China to direct "The
Caine Mutiny Court Martial" with a Chinese cast, in Chinese. His
autobiography, "In the Arena," 1995, is confident, eloquent, candid, and
often funny. An artist as well as an actor and writer, Heston exhibited
his pen and ink sketches in art galleries. Putting his ideals into
action, he headed the Artists' Committee that joined with Dr. Martin
Luther King Jr. in the March on Washington. He also joined in other,
smaller demonstrations for civil rights. He served actively in Hollywood
politics as head of the Screen Actor's Guild for six years, raised money
for dozens of charitable causes including the fight against breast
cancer, and championed many an underdog. Believing in the right to bear
arms, Heston became head of the NRA (National Rifle Association) in
1998.
On March 17, 1944 he married his college sweetheart, Lydia Clarke. The
couple had two children and by all accounts lived happily together until
his death. In early August 2002, Heston made public that he was
diagnosed with neurological symptoms "consistent with" Alzheimer's
disease. He died at age 84 on April 5, 2008 at his Beverly Hills, CA
home.

What Do You Think?
In
recent times Charlton Heston has been most closely associated with the
National Rifle Association. You’ve probably seen the video clip of Heston
holding up a rifle and proclaiming defiantly “Out of my cold, dead hand.”
Perhaps you saw him being challenged by Michael Moore in Moore’s documentary
“Bowling for Columbine.” Yet Charlton Heston’s life and career included a
long and varied series of achievements as actor, activist, and fund-raiser.
Let’s study his chart this week to see where his varied roles, on screen and
off, are shown astrologically.
-
Where in Heston’s chart do you see the magnificent voice, the career in
acting, his varied talents, interests and activities? Can you pick out from
his chart the astrological representations of some of his famous roles like
Moses, Ben-Hur, El Cid, Michelangelo, John the Baptist, Marc Anthony,
President Andrew Jackson? Where’s the head of Screen Actors’ Guild and the
NRA?
-
How do you interpret the 12th house? Notice that Heston’s Sun, Venus and
Saturn are all there in Libra, with Venus serving as a midpoint between Sun
and Saturn. How would you factor into your interpretation this trio’s
placement and relationship with each other?
Except for his Midheaven and Neptune,
Heston has no fire in his chart. What might the lack of this element signify
in his personality and life choices?
