The ghost section of Hollywood is getting rather crowded...

Jules Dassin, Richard Widmark and Charlton Heston in HOW MANY days?
Rest in peace, all of them - even though I cannot forgive Heston his "cold dead hands" nonsense.

In fact he did keep his guns, though I doubt he was holding them at the moment of death.

We will not agree on this matter, I'm afraid.

What, you think he DID hold them when he died? ;)

But I think you and I will. Yesterday's paper featured an obit complete with two pictures of CH: one in a heroic pose from Ben Hur, the other at a lectern, right fist raised high over his head and brandishing a rifle, mouth wide open in what was probably full spate in exactly that "cold dead hands" tirade. All I could think was "I really don't want to remember him this way."

Exactly.
