HOLLYWOOD STARS WHO WERE IN THE MILITARY OR WERE WAR HEROES

Charlton Heston: Staff Sergeant During World War II

Now a retired professional, Hollywood celebrity Charlton Heston began his career journey with the Air Forces of United States Army. Before attaining a Staff Sergeant’s rank, the former actor offered two years of service during which he was positioned as an aerial gunner and a radio operator in the Aleutian Islands of Alaska.

Bigger things awaited Charles in the outside world, and once he finished his tenure in the military, film industry embraced his acting talent with movies like The Ten Commandments, Ben-Hur, and The Pigeon That Took Rome. It’s indeed a sad reality that a celebrated performer like him is spending his old age struggling with Alzheimer’s.
