The Associated Press reports that movie legend Charlton Heston, the Oscar-winning actor famous for roles in Ben-Hur, The Ten Commandments, El Cid and Planet of the Apes, passed away last night at the age of 84. While the official cause of death has not yet been revealed, Heston had been suffering from Alzheimer's Disease for several years and had largely avoided the public eye since first disclosing his condition in 2002.
