Charlton Heston starring in "The Warlord"

CHARLTON HESTON starring in "THE WAR LORD" A Universal Picture Charlton Heston stars as a mercenary Norman knight who has a tragic love affair in Universal's "The War Lord.” Mr. Heston was born in Evanston, Illinois, later moving to St. Helen, Michigan, where he attended school. His early choice – at the age of five - of an acting career came as the result of appearing in a school play. After graduating from Northwestern Uni- versity, Mr. Heston began his professional acting career by working in a number of daytime radio shows on various Chicago stations. In 1948 he made his Broadway debut as a member of Katherine Cornell's “Anthony and Cleopatra” company. Charlton Heston became one of the first Broadway actors to achieve marked success on television, playing leads in “Studio One" and other top dramatic programs. He made his movie debut as Anthony in "Julius Caesar." Cecil B. DeMille then signed him to “The Greatest Show on Earth” and Charlton was on his way. He keeps in good physical condition, plays a 'driv- ing game of tennis, and wishes he could find more time for horseback riding. He prefers symphonic music, doesn't like most modern music, but is a con- firmed Bing Crosby fan, reads novels and biographies by the score, reads newspapers thoroughly, including the comics. Katherine Cornell remains his favorite actress, and he considers Sir Laurence Olivier one of the world's greatest actors. He's a deft artist and often sketches between scenes when working on a picture. © 1965 by UNIVERSAL PICTURES COMPANY, INC. & CARTER MANAGEMENT CO., INC.
