Tarzan's chimpanzee star Cheeta watches a pre-recorded message from renowned primatologist Jane Goodall wishing him a 75th happy birthday in Palm Springs, CA, on April 8, 2007. Cheeta, famed for his appearances in the 1930's and 1940's Tarzan movies starring Johnny Weissmuller and Maureen O'Sullivan, turns 75 years old tomorrow 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.
