About the artist:
Lydia Clarke Heston attended high school in Lexington, Kentucky, and graduated from Northwestern University.
A comment by Carl Sandburg after he saw her perform with the Asheville Little Theatre led her to change her career plans from practicing law to acting.
On Broadway, Clarke portrayed Mary McLeod in Detective Story (1949). She appeared on Studio One on television. Her film debut came in The Greatest Show on Earth (1952). After she was asked by Cecil B. DeMille's publicist to help take some on-set photos. Her photography took her to remote locations and her work was exhibited all around the world,
recording everything from Afghan refugees in the Khyber Pass to the fellahin in their Nile villages." Time and Fortune were among the magazines that published her work. She also exhibited her photographs in museums and galleries and had her work published in two books.
She married actor Charlton Heston on March 17, 1944, at Grace Methodist Church in Greensboro, North Carolina, and their marriage lasted for 64 years until his death on April 5, 2008. They had two children: Fraser Clarke Heston and Holly Heston Rochell.
Lydia and Charlton Heston were co-directors and acted at the Thomas Wolfe Memorial Theatre in Asheville, North Carolina.
Clarke died from complications due to pneumonia on September 3, 2018, at UCLA Medical Center, in Santa Monica, California, at the age of 95.
