TARZAN CHIMP CELEBRATES 75TH BIRTHDAY
The star of 12 TARZAN films, CHEETA the chimpanzee, celebrated his 75th birthday this week (10APR07).
Cheeta is the world’s oldest chimp and has outlived both his human Tarzan co-stars JOHNNY WEISSMULLER and MAUREEN O’SULLIVAN.
The chimp was first discovered by an animal trainer on a trip to Africa in the 1930s and went on to be the star of the blockbuster movies throughout the 1930s and 1940s.
He is currently living in a primate centre in Palm Springs, California.
