Chimpanzee star Cheeta kisses a trophy held by his owner and caretaker Dan Westfall during his 75th birthday party in Palm Springs, CA, on April 9, 2007. The trophy was offered by Canada's Space Channel TV as a Lifetime Achievement Award. Cheeta, famed for his appearances in the 1930's and 1940's Tarzan movies starring Johnny Weissmuller and Maureen O'Sullivan, turned 75 years old today and remains the world's oldest living primate. He lives happily at the C.H.E.E.T.A Primate Sanctuary in Palm Springs, California, a home for primates who have retired from the movie industry and the show business.
