Before we say good bye to actor Charlton Heston we should remember, as I had forgotten, his contributions to some of the seminal science fiction stalwarts. Who can forget or hasn't used "Get your dirty paws off me you damn dirty ape!" or the scene of Miss Liberty herself all but destroyed. Yes, at the very least let us take a moment to appreciate that cornerstone. And not to be forgotten, Soylent Green (It's People!) or The Omega Man, which if you didn't know is Richard Matheson's 1954 novel, I Am Legend which had just been redone by Will Smith.
All in all Heston did his part to legitimizing big screen science fiction. In the process giving us some of the most memorable moments in science fiction film history.
