Actor and activist Charlton Heston, who won the Academy Award for his portrayal of Judah Ben-Hur, died yesterday at the age of 83.

Going through his biography on IMDB, there was one quote of his that summed up his life:

"In the beginning an actor impresses us with his looks, later his voice enchants us. Over the years, his performances enthrall us. But in the end, it is simply what he is."

In the end, Charlton Heston was simply a good man.
