Bit of trivia info regarding the other Tarzan - Johnny Weissmuller - years and years ago a friend of mine bought his condo here in Ft Lauderdale and renovated it and sold it. While during work there, he met many long term residents who lived there during the same time as Weissmuller. Despite being a very well known fitness buff and in remarkable shape (he once saved like ten people from drowning when a boat sank and he kept swimming out and grabbing them and hauling them to safety.) but he was also a twisted alcoholic that would get completely naked and run around the golf course that was behind the condos in the middle of the night. It would be like 3am in the morning and everyone would be startled awake by him screaming his world famous Tarzan yell that he invented and then dashing across the golf course, around the back way, and then back down Federal Highway completely nude and doing the Tarzan yell in random spots.
Bonus trivia - the Tarzan yell he did was actually his real yell which the studio recorded and then played in reverse. Weissmuller then trained himself to yell exactly how it sounded in reverse and did it himself afterwards.

He saved people from drowning and ran around naked? Lived the life of a real Tarzan. Must have been a Method actor.
