Days after he finished filming Soylent Green, Edward G Robinson died.
And according to his will, he wanted Charlton Heston to eat his corpse.
“Not raw,” said the will. “You’re not a savage or an animal, right?”
Robinson’s estate provided for the best of chefs, access to his extensive wine collection, and the utmost discretion.
Heston was horrified. More horrified than when he found out that his friend was dying.
And even more horrified than when he found out he’d have to film a death scene with him.
“Just a salad, please,” said Charlton, sipping some wine. “This is excellent.”
