February 8, 1968 –
Planet of The Apes premiered in NYC on this date, confirming Charlton Heston’s position as one of the greatest “One Note Actors” of his generation.
At one of the first test screenings, a woman walked up to Charlton Heston and asked him how he was. Heston had no clue who she was until she revealed that she was Kim Hunter. He simply hadn’t recognized her as he hadn’t seen her outside of her ape make-up.
