    Am I the only one that is confused by Charlton Heston’s presence? Thank you for the link, Ms. V.

      He was politically active. In the beginning he tended towards Democratic causes, later in life he became conservative. I have to add that he was married to the same person his whole life and his kids turned out a-okay. On set he was professional, funny, and fatherly. A good egg.

        Thank you for that, Ms V and bad on me for being so judgemental. Quite inappropriate especially on that holiday.

        Despite his later in life shift I always loved him. He was so rock solid. Some of my favorites films were The President’s Lady, Ruby, Ben-Hur…and … “Moses, Moses you stubborn adorable fool.”

      No, I am surprised too! But am enjoying Vickie’s response to your question.

    I shared on fb today that I substituted in an elementary classroom last Friday. I mentioned to the students about no school on Monday(today) and most of them forgot that Monday was MLK Jr Day. Some of them asked me who he was. I was surprised that their regular classroom teacher hadn’t mentioned it to them(perhaps she had and the non-paying attention students were the ones telling me this info) so I found a good video for them to watch on Youtube, made by Kid President, about MLK Jr.
