Description

Cheeta, the chimpanzee who stole the show in Hollywood's golden age, tells his incredible story in this moving and hilarious autobiography. Born in the Liberian jungle in 1932, Cheeta was snatched from his home by animal importer Henry Trefflich, who went on to supply NASA with its 'Monkeys for Space' programme. Cheeta's life took a dramatic turn when he appeared in his first film, 'Tarzan the Ape Man', in 1932, and went on to star in numerous other films, including 'Tarzan and His Mate'. With wit and emotion, Cheeta recounts his experiences in the fake jungles and outrageous world of Hollywood's golden age, from his famous on-screen antics to his life as an abstract painter in retirement.
