The Door wasn’t very kind to Charlton Heston, even though he starred in arguably the greatest Christian movie ever made, Ben-Hur, not to mention playing Moses in The Ten Commandments, John the Baptist in The Greatest Story Ever Told, and Michelangelo in The Agony and the Ecstasy. (Does the Planet of the Apes series qualify as cinematic religion? I say “YES!”) At any rate, we didn’t feature him on our cover until 1998, when he was making himself public enemy number one of the gun-control movement as president of the National Rifle Association. Paul Somerville did a classic dissection of Heston’s political positions as well as NRA propaganda in general, in “The Ten Commandments of Charlton Heston,” [1] which we’re reprinting here along with the amazing pen-and-ink drawing of Door editor Robert Darden, and the same issue included Darden’s sendup of that year’s Academy Awards ceremonies [2], also reprinted here, prominently featuring Chuck, the Chuckster, Charlton, one of the legendary movie stars from another era. If he’d done nothing except Ben-Hur, it would have been plenty.
