Charlton Heston: The Uncrowned King of SciFI

The year is 1968.  The times they are a-changin' and Heston is changing right along with 'em.  After making a career as Hollywood's go-to guy for historic dramas like Ben-Hur and The Ten Commandments, the bronzed beefcake sets his sites on the future...or at least a number of crazy visions of it.
The line that says it all:  "If you need a ceiling painted, a chariot race run, a city besieged, an ape waxed, or the Red Sea parted, you think of me."
