Charlton Heston (October 4, 1924 - April 5, 2008)
Even though he appeared in such epics productions as "The Ten Commandments", "Ben-Hur", and "Planet of the Apes" I will always remember him as the ruthless Jason Colby on the "Dynasty" spin-off "The Colbys." Even though it was on for only two seasons it will still full of scandlous action. Heston did incredibly well when it came to battling estranged wife Sable (Stephanie Beacham) and mortal enemy Zachary Powers (Ricardo Montalban). Audiences were shocked to find out that nephew Jeffery (John James) was actually Jason's son, the result of an affair with sister-in-law Francesca (Katharine Ross). In addition to his wife's sister he also bedded her cousin, Alexis Carrington Colby (Joan Collins). It should also be mentioned that Alexis was also his sister-in-law as well, the widow of his late brother Cecil. It was after that one night stand with Alexis that Jason learned that his twins Miles (Maxwell Caulfield) and Monica (Tracy Scoggins) were not his but actually the result of his wife being raped. So with that he did what any honest to goodness red blooded American father would do....he disowned them all and kicked them out.
Money, Power and Oil......! The things that can happen.....
