Hollywood’s Funeral of 1000 Stars! Hosted by Ryan Seacrest.
Charlton Heston, one of the last lions of Old Hollywood, was remembered at his funeral as devoutly religious and patriotic - a man who was an imposing figure both in his politics and on the big screen.
Heston died on April 5 aged 84 in his Beverly Hills home with his wife, Lydia, at his side following a battle with Alzheimer’s disease.
The service was held at the Episcopal Parish of St Matthews, a church in a wooded canyon above Pacific Palisades.
About 300 people attended the funeral, including family members, politicians and actors.
A frail Nancy Reagan entered the church on the arm of Tom Selleck. Following the nearly two-hour ceremony, Mrs Reagan left with Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Other notables from Heston’s Hollywood history included Olivia DeHavilland, Keith Carradine, Pat Boone, Oliver Stone and Rob Reiner.
We were joking about the Ryan Seacrest bit, but where the f*ck was Access Hollywood or E! — they’re slipping. This could’ve been a prime time special. Hollywood Mourns dot dot dot With Glamour!
