Bequeathing an ancient relic a gun to a pre-Neanderthal is an irony surely not lost on NRA zealot Heston who, earlier this year, appeared as a dangerous, rifle-toting nut case in the Warren Beatty comedy Town & Country.

January 13, 2008 -- WARREN Beatty was so impressed with Hank Azaria's turn as TV pioneer David Sarnoff in Broadway's "The Farnsworth Invention," he rushed backstage to greet him after a performance last week at the Music Box. Azaria was shocked to see Beatty and his wife, Annette Bening, standing there, our spy reports: "He [Beatty] kept saying how wonderful it was." The play by Aaron Sorkin is about the race to claim the patent on the first television. (New York Post -- Gossip)
