Charlton Heston is an American actor and political activist. John Charles Carter was born on October 4, 1923, in Wilmette, Illinois, to Lilla and Russell Whitford Carter, he was a sawmill operator.
In an interview, Heston said he was not very good at remembering addresses or his childhood. Heston is of Scottish descent, but most of his ancestry is English. His early immigrant ancestors came to America from England in the 1600s. His maternal grandfather was William Charlton of Sunderland, an Englishman, and Mary Drysdale Charlton of Scotland. They immigrated to Canada, where his grandmother, Marion Emily Charlton, was born in 1872.
His father ran the family's construction business. When Heston was a child, his father's work moved the family to St. Helens, Michigan. It was a rural, heavily wooded area of the state, and Heston lived a secluded but idyllic life, spending much of his time hunting and fishing in the area's forests.
