CHARLTOl "I TOR a newcomer to HollyH wood. Hal Wallis' new sensation. Charlton Heston, has had more acting experience than many of the screen's veteran stars. In fact, since he was five, he's been acting. All through his schooling, which included the School of Speech at Northwestern. Charlton trained himself to be an actor. Following graduation, he plunged into stage and radio work, then three full seasons on Broadway with Summer stock in between. Charlton has played with such stars as Katherine Cornell, Martha Scott and Coleen Cray. He has been happily married for the past six years to Lydia Clark, stage actress, also of Northwestern. It was on television that Hal Wallis spotted Charlton. Above: Awaiting scene on set of "Dark City," his first film for Producer Hal Wallis. Charlton is six feet two, light brown hair, weighs 205 pounds. Left: With Lizabeth Scott, another Hal Wallis discovery, who co-stars with Heston in "Dark City," a Paramount release/ Wallis saw him on "Studio One." Right: Scene from "Dark City." Charlton plays an ex-C.I. who has part interest in gambling house. It's a flawless performance. He's big box-office!
