Charlton Heston was born on this day, October 4, in 1923 (d. 2008). He was photographed by Karsh in 1956 during filming of “The Ten Commandments”, both in-costume, and behind-the-scenes with his son, Fraser (who is himself a film director, producer, screenwriter and actor). See some other, recently added, portraits of Charlton Heston.
