It is always sad to see a report of the passing of a Hollywood giant. Gone are the days of stars like Charlton Heston, who made his mark in such epics as Ben Hur, El Cid and the comedy It Happened One Night. I love all three of these and now I am going to go back and look at some of the other films he did - like Earthquake.

When I went to license his DVD programme and his presentation of The Bible, I hadn't realised what an impact he had had with The Ten Commandments. Hence, why he had such a devout following and why our release in the UK of The Bible, with Charlton Heston as a presenter, has been one of our perennial best sellers.

His love for history and The Bible is so apparent and convincing to so many. His acting will forever leave us spellbound as well!
