Way too many (all, in fact) of the reports I've seen and read on Heston fall into the "cold dead hands" speech, even over his film legacy.

I haven't seen that, fortunately. Most of the stuff I've seen and read has been respectful, focusing in the main on his film career -- even in "leftie" political forums (where most folks old enough to drink have admonished the uptight young'uns to chill out and remember the man for his movies, not his politics).

I certainly agree with you about the entertainment magazine covers. Heston should've been front and center, in remembrance.
