The Talk forum this week was mourning the passing of Charlton Heston. "There will never be another actor of the stature and class of Charlton Heston," said Wishawk. "Our loss is heaven's gain." Socialmom echoed the sentiments, saying "Charlton Heston was the last of the 'power-hitters' in Hollywood. He was strong, beautiful, introspective and unpredictable. He always gave more than he took in scenes. He made me cry every Easter."

Other commenters focused on Mr. Heston's accomplishments as the President of the National Rifle Association. "In this country many of our rights are being taken away slowly one at a time," said LB. "America means we choose with the freedom to do so. That was what Mr. Heston was standing behind." Added Ddemis: "His performances were legendary! I will miss Mr.Heston dearly. As a Life Member of the NRA and a fan of his movies I must say, so long old friend."
