With his chiseled jaw, compelling baritone voice, and muscular physique,
Charlton Heston (1923–2008) seemed perfectly at home leading a cast of
thousands. The 18th stamp in the Legends of Hollywood series
salutes an actor who portrayed presidents and prophets, Moses and
Michelangelo. Known for tackling heroic roles in epic blockbusters,
Heston made more than 70 films in a career that spanned seven decades.
This
stamp features a color portrait based on a photograph taken by the
actor’s wife, Lydia Clarke Heston. An image of Heston from the 1959
movie Ben-Hur decorates the selvage. Originally shot in black and
white, the photograph was later hand-tinted, and shows Heston in his
costume from the monumental chariot racing scene, one of the most famous
action sequences ever filmed. Heston won a best actor Oscar for playing
the title character, Judah Ben-Hur, a Judean prince who rebels against
Roman occupation during the time of Christ.
Director Cecil B. DeMille tapped Heston for one of the biggest parts of his career: Moses in The Ten Commandments
(1956). A Biblical extravaganza that tells the story of Exodus, this
sprawling epic featured a cast of thousands, eye-popping special
effects, and a Charlton Heston who could convincingly raise a rod over
his head and part the Red Sea. Heston lent his heroic presence to other
larger-than-life roles in the 1960s, including Michelangelo in The Agony
and the Ecstasy and John the Baptist in The Greatest Story Ever Told.
He broke new ground in 1968's Planet of the Apes, making a foray into
science fiction as a time-traveling astronaut trapped on a planet ruled
by English-speaking apes.
Designed by art director Greg Breeding,
the stamp was illustrated by noted movie artist Drew Struzan. The
Charlton Heston stamp is being issued in sheets of 20 self-adhesive
Forever® stamps.
