Tarzan's "Cheeta" turns 74

PALM SPRINGS, Calif. -- The world's oldest captive chimpanzee marked his 74th birthday Sunday with a party in Palm Springs, Calif.

"Cheeta" was dubbed the world's oldest chimp by the Guinness Book of World Records... starred in a dozen Tarzan films in the 1930s and 1940s before his retirement. [continued][

I can hardly even imagine that the chimp used in those movies is still alive and kicking.
