The Gentleman Charlton Heston he told Hayward... "Easy girl" as she was hardly trying to get to the podium they Admired & respected each other always then Hayward told the audience as every one rose to their feet giving Susan a standing ovation then Susan said ; "well this is the last time i pull this up" & she was as good as her word a little bit within a year the gorgeous red headed Angel died in Carrollton Georgia in april 1975...

I think Heston's performance works because of his sincerity. You believe that he is a character in that time period, even though, of course, he's a modern American. After a few scenes, you almost forget it's Heston and you just think of him as Ben Hur. The film (as great as it is and as terrific all the supporting cast are) still relies on the audience engaging with Heston/Hur and he did deserve the Oscar for pulling that off.

I hated Steven Boyd so much when I first saw this movie (which is course is the sign of an amazing performance by an actor. I mean how could he be so mean to Ben-hur), and Charlon Heston was what ,, if I had an older brother he'd have been Ben-Hur. As I grew up I began feeling sad for Messala and kept wishing both him and Ben-hur could have lived in a different time where they were both able to remain friends for ever. To this day I still wish Ben-Hur was my older brother lol.
