Boomer TV: Charlton Heston on 'The Colbys'

Charlton Heston, the towering actor who died Saturday, was of course best-known for his film portrayals, ranging from Moses in "The Ten Commandments" to a simian-imprisoned astronaut in "Planet of the Apes."

But later in his career, when the movie gigs began drying up, Heston turned to TV, notably a stint on the "Dynasty" spinoff, "The Colbys," where he played millionaire businessman Jason Colby. Here's a clip from one of that 1985-87 series' most dramatic scenes, in which it's revealed that Jason is actually the father of Jeff Colby (John James, son of legendary New York morning deejay Herb Oscar Anderson).
