Excellent query, Red. I kind of doubt they would risk the Tarzan franchise by employing Weissmuller, but I would love to know the answer to that! If we can't find it anywhere, I will contact Denny Miller. He is a treasure trove of Tarzan trivia, facts, and filmdom info. And I wholeheartedly agree about the "New York" adventure's appeal. It is such an entertaining challenge and change from the other franchise films.
Lynn, what a sweet story about Johnny Weissmuller! I am so happy you shared that with us, and enjoy hearing such positive stories about celebrities. Completely relate to relatives who will hock the family jewels for a pair of smokes and a swig of the Beammeister...
Thanks, Cinemaven, for your vote for jocularity...jocularity...jocularity. Moira, me, and JF were on a rolllllllllllllllll!!!!!!!!
Sometimes it is nice just to let the stream of consciousness take over....like the time when I ran into Eva Gabor at the Battlestein's in Houston when she was pitching her wigs and my mother just wanted to hear what she had to say and then I told her that Eva was busy selling her wigs and that she didn't have time to socialize with us plebeians and she said that she didn't know what a plebeian was and how come I was using that word and she didn't think it was something good, she said that she wanted to talk to her about Zsa Zsa and
Green Acres, and how come she didn't stay with Hilton, and I told her it was Zsa Zsa who married a Hilton, and then she said that some guy was filming it all for the local ABC station and what if they saw me at school 'cuz you know I was playing hooky and I said how can I get in trouble when I had a doctor's appointment and you're going to write a note, right?...
