DeMille team and...( read more ) appeared in 23 of DeMille's films, and is best remembered in his role as Moses in the 1923 version of "The Ten Commandments." A well-known and well-loved actor, his funeral in Westlake Park was attended by nearly 2,000 people. However, Roberts felt so much bitterness in his heart for his near relatives that he bequeathed his estate to a nephew (a commercial illustrator) in New York. The estate was valued at nearly $20,000, including a yacht, valued at $10,000. Several of Roberts' personal items were left to brothers and friends William and Cecil B. DeMille. Roberts claimed that during the worst times of his life, no one in his family offered a word of sympathy of any help at all. His only request was that he be laid to rest next to his beloved wife Florence Smythe, who passed away in 1925. Roberts died from uremic poisoning
