Dear Mr. Heston,
since before I can even remember, I have spent Easter Sunday watching The Ten Commandments and Ben-Hur with my parents. You have been an institution in my family, though I must admit that in recent years I've favored Yul Brynner's Ramses to your portrayal of Moses. That is not in anyway to take away from your performance, I always root for the bad guys.
I must say, I've never quite forgiven you for rolling with the NRA and that "cold dead hands" comment sort of put a nail in the gun control coffin. There are some democrats who may want to do a two-step on your grave, but isn't a steadfast belief system what this country was built on. I've ALWAYS disagreed with you on your views on guns, but have somehow always respected that same steadfastness.
I've watched you part The Red Sea, race chariots at dangerous speeds and even wrestle with super evolved monkeys. Your battle with Alzheimer's is finally over and I hope you find peace in the great beyond.
Much Respect,
D
