Soylent Green (1973)


 A touch of class from Charlton Heston to Edward G Robinson.

At the beginning of filming for the movie “Soylent Green”, which would be Robinson's last film, it was discovered that Edward had cancer. The filmmakers would shoot Robinson's scenes first.
During that shooting, everyday that Edward was on set, Charlton Heston had various wines and cheeses flown in from all over the world. When making movies, the actors and crew end up sitting around a lot of the time waiting for the cameras to get set up and moved for different takes. During that time Heston and Robinson delighted in the wines and cheeses. Heston ensured Edward's days of filming his last movie were both as comfortable and pleasant as possible.
Robinson died at the age of 79 on January 26, 1973, four months before the release of “Soylent Green” in May of 1973.
