Abstract
Foreword by Danton Burroughs. Sensitive yet unsentimental, this is the story of the best loved Tarzan of all time, Johnny Weissmuller. Written by his son, readers are offered an intimate insight into the man and his career, from his early Olympic triumphs, failed marriages, his Hollywood life as Tarzan and his subsequent role as Jungle Jim. Johnny Jr's inside perspective includes interviews with his father's former wives, costars and celebrity friends, and family stories involving stars like Humphrey Bogart. The result, a tale of Hollywood greatness.
