# A Birthday Salute to Hollywood Icon Charlton Heston 

Today Janson Media sends warm birthday wishes to Hollywood icon Charlton Heston. Renowned for roles playing several historical figures (Moses, Ben Hur and Michelangelo), Heston is recognized as one of cinema's most influential leading men. With accomplishments including an Academy Award for Best Actor, Heston's legacy expanded to political activism as an active supporter of the Civil Rights movement. The Janson Media DVD [*Charlon Heston: For All Seasons*](http://www.janson.com/dvdcatalog/2009/06/18/the-hollywood-collection-charlton-heston-for-all-seasons/) (1 x 50') taken from the company's Hollywood Collection, offers a comprehensive portrayal of the dynamic figure.

Although he is a private man, he has often appeared to be a very public one, willing to speak up on issues he believes in-however controversial they may be. In his own words, *For All Seasons* is Heston"s life as well as highlights of a career that resulted in over 60 motion pictures. The DVD includes scenes from *The Greatest Show On Earth, The Ten Commandments, The Big Country, Ben-Hur, Will Penny, Soylent Green, and Planet of the Apes.*
