Posts from William T Brooks in thread „Charlton Heston“

  • Charlton Heston

    Back in the Early 1980s when we were still doing the T.V. show "Chilibill's Kitchen" and the Documentarys for The Hearst, I got a call from California, I was now in Sedona, Arizona.
    The man on The Phone in a Very Rich Male Voice said,
    "Is This Bill Brooks" ?
    I said "Yes this is Bill Brooks."
    He Said "This is Charlton Heston and I was told to call you by Bill Hearst Jr."
    I was Shocked !
    He wanted me to give him Info. on my Production Company that was Called C.B.K. Productions, and at this time Charlton was Heading up what was called
    "The American Film Institute"
    So I told Him all He wanted to know about C.B.K. Produtions .
    Then I said "How Much Money Do I need to send to The Institute"? He said "Don't worry about it Bill Hearst Jr. said He would care of it."
    In about a Week I Got My "American Film Institute" Card and it was Sighed By Charlton Heston !!!
    I still Have The Card and The Papers that He sent with it.
    A few years later I ran in to Him in Phoenix at The N.R.A. Meeting that was held there that year and told Him the Story as I remembered it.
    He Said "Oh I remember That , How is Old Bill Hearst Jr. ?"
