A portrait of the most beloved Tarzan and a tale of Hollywood at its legendary
peak. An authoritative insight into the life of the man most film fans
consider the "one and only" Tarzan - Olympic swimming champion Johnny
Weissmuller - this book offers an intimate look at Weissmuller's early life,
middle years, and later decline, through swimming training, Olympic triumphs,
failed marriages, a Hollywood life as Tarzan of the Apes, and subsequent
career as Jungle Jim. Written by his only son, this biography is a sensitive
yet unsentimental portrayal of the man who was Tarzan to movie fans around the
world. Johnny Junior's inside perspective on his father's life and career
includes interviews with his father's celebrity friends and former wives,
recollections of conversations with his father over the years, and family
stories involving international icons such as Humphrey Bogart, Errol Flynn,
Robert Mitchum, Joe Louis, and many others. There are "surprises" in the text
and many photos from private collections that have never before been printed
or seen by the general public.
