Chimpanzee star Cheeta's owner and caretaker Dan Westfall (L) with Palm Springs' Mayor Ron Oden holding a proclamation declaring April 9 as Cheeta Day in Palm Springs, CA. 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.
