When I was young, I had a "thing" for Charlton Heston. I really can't explain it other than I thought he was really cool. He was this gruff actor who played Moses. What wasn't there to like? This was pre-NRA and crazy days. I wish I could say that I liked him for marching with MLK, campaigning with Kennedy or speaking out against the Vietnam War. I didn't know about any of his politics. I even named a walking stick after him. You can mark all of this down as stuff you didn't know about me and probably never expected.
1) Charlton Heston fascination and 2) I had a walking stick.

When I mentioned "no more Charlton" to someone a day or two ago, they said he was a bad actor. I'll go with your memory of the gruff Moses guy and the optimism of your wish that he was for peace and justice.
