Charlton Heston, who won a best actor Oscar for his starring role in the epic Ben-Hur has died aged 84.
Heston died on Saturday at his home in Beverly Hills. His wife Lydia, whom he married in 1944, was at his side.
Heston also portrayed Michelangelo, El Cid and other heroic figures in movie epics of the 1950s and 1960s.
The roles I most liked him in were, Planet Of The Apes, The Omega Man and Soylent Green.
