Late in his life, he became head of the NRA, promoting gun rights. He passed away in 2008 at the age of 84. He had been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease, and died from pneumonia. Artist: J. Reus Important Added Info: Note that this is a really special (and really cool) bullfight poster! It was created for a special bullfight that was held while the cast and crew of El Cid were in Spain filming the movie. The producers of the bullfight invited Charlton Heston, producer Samuel Bronston, director Anthony Mann, and others to this special bullfight, where they gave Charlton Heston a "key to the city" as an event between bullfights! This special poster was printed for this specific event, and the information is printed at the bottom of the poster, with Charlton Heston's name prominently at center (see our image). We auctioned this poster on 8/25/16 (our consignor had obtained this poster from the estate of Charlton Heston, and it was Mr. Heston's personal copy of the poster), and the buyer of the poster from that auction had it linenbacked and has re-consigned it, so it is still Mr. Heston's personal copy, just linenbacked! What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good to fine. The poster had some minor border wear but was otherwise in nice condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well! Learn More about condition grades
