Charlton Heston: Ben-Hur
built 231 days ago
In Part One, "Genesis," ACADEMY AWARD -winning actor Charlton Heston (Ben-Hur) recounts the origins of man and the universe from the stark beauty of a recently discovered Roman amphitheater at Beit She'an, Israel. Here is all the wonder of the Creation...the forming of Adam and Eve..the choice of the Tree of Knowledge and the loss of Eden. Here, too, is the dramatic story of Cain and Abel ...the awesome power of God's wrath with Noah and the Flood...and the testament of faith inthe account of Abraham and Isaac.

Heston made a cameo in 2001's "Planet of the Apes" remake as Tim Roth's father, meaning his role was so small he can in no way be blamed for the film's many flaws. This was one of his rare appearances in film or television, though he has stayed active in his political causes. In 2002, he lent his voice to an animated version of "Ben-hur" which was produced by his son Fraser and shortly after announced he is has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's.
