R.I.P. Cheetah

Well, he lived a good life and he made many people smile, but now, sadly, he
’s gone: Cheetah, the chimp from the 1930s Tarzan movies starring Johnny Weissmuller and Maureen O’Sullivan, has died at age 80.

The Hollywood legend passed away on Christmas Eve after suffering kidney failure the week before.

Cheetah had been living in Florida, where he’d retired in the ’60s.

Update: Hold the banana: This may not have been the Cheetah, after all.
