- Summary
- "Brian Steel Wills' captures for the first time a comprehensive view of the actor's climb to fame, his search for the perfect performance, and the meaningful roles he played in support of the causes he embraced in Running the Race: The "Public Face" of Charlton Heston, the first full-length biography of the actor in many years. Award-winning historian Brian Steel Wills dug deep to paint a rich portrait of Heston's extraordinary life-a mix of complications and complexities that touched film, television, theater, politics, and society. His carefully crafted "public face" was impactful in more ways than the ordinarily shy and private family man could have ever imagined"--
