When my husband found out one of the magicians poster he collected was
an anti-semite, he sold them all for a song. He didn't even want them
in the house. They're posters, Patrick. Magic is all he collects.
Sorry they couldn't have been movie posters, but I wanted to reply to
your question. I thought it was pertinent.
(and please, don't bark at me. It's art.)

I think it's a far more complex question. Which makes me wonder, do
you ignore your personal issues with a certain actor/perfomer/writer/
director whether they be politics or what have you in order to sell
a VERY profitable poster BUT take a stand when convenient and don't
sell another actor/performet/writer/director's posters which don't
sell for larger profits? In other words, do we only take a stand
when it doesn't hurt so much in the poster selling world? Or can we
all be 'bought' by profit? Art and personal profit...how close to a
Leni Riefenstahl stance do we flirt with in doing so?

There are many actors, writers, directors, et al and artists from

myself.
I think what we are talking about here is the death of Mr Heston
the actor and the legacy of films he left, his part in Hollywood
movie history, not Mr Heston who happened to be a big name in the
NRA.
By extension, if as a professional seller one feels strongly enough
about an actor/writer/director's politics, does one make a
statement by not dealing in material that features them or was made
by them?

Yes, it takes a brave man to ambush an elderly gentleman in the
early stages
of Alzheimer's.
That may be his legacy to you, but fortunately it won't be to a
majority of
the world.

2004: almost 100,000 people killed or injured by guns, in just
one year!
Sounds like a runaway epidemic to me---promoted largely by the gun-
lobby
profiteers & NRA.
Heston's legacy: running like a squirmy dog from Michael Moore's
interview.
The image is
indelibly etched into our collective film consciousness.

I guess the liberals are just in favor of censorship - or at
least its
okay to shut people up
who don't believe what they believe.
but then why the big outcry againt the hollywood black list -
what's good
for the goose...
