ME CHEETA THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY

In 1984, Johnny Weissmuller, Hoiiywoods greatest Tarzan, passed away. His coffin was lowered into.xhe ground to the recorded sounds of his famous jungle call. Maureen OSullivan, his Jane, followed him in 1998. But their co-star Cheeta the chimpanzee, the Worlds Funniest Animal, lives on. At seventy-six, he is by some distance the oldest chimp ever recorded. Now, in his own words, Cheeta finally tells his extraordinary story. Plucked from millions of hopefuls in the jungles of Liberia, Cheeta became an international screen icon from the moment of his debut in 1934s Tarzan and His Mate. He went on to star in a further nine Tarzan pictures, nd later in Doctor Dolittle with the appalling Rex Harrison, before his battles with substance abuse forced him into early retirement. He now lives happily in Palm Springs where he has reinvented himself as a globally acclaimed abstract painter. We arc privileged indeed that such a legendary entertainment grant us intimate access to the lives of the most glittering stars. Well aware that no animal has ever been successfully sued for libel, Me Cheeta is packed with fascinating revelations about a lost Hollywood. Funny, moving and searing honest, this is the greatest celebrity autobiography of our time.
