Master 1804 - Tape 1 CU Charlton Heston autographing book jacket of his memoir, "The Actor s Life." CU Hollywood actor & NRA President CHARLTON HESTON seated at book signing, speaking to off-screen reporter about his daily journal, as well as his philosophy on acting: "I wrote it as work tool. I started it in 1956 to teach me to make my choices better, to choose scripts better, in terms of my reactions to the work I d done the day before. I would write down each night what I d thought of it, then when I saw it on the screen the next day I could form some kind of objective opinion. Acting is very subjective work. There s almost nothing you can put your finger on. You ve got to teach yourself to learn to make accurate judgments. I think we re all too easy on ourselves."
