The son of the Olympic swimmer who became a Hollywood star reveals the real story of his famous father's life Includes photos from private collections that have never before been printed or seen by the general public Johnny Weissmuller's name has become synonymous with Tarzan -- the role he played in the 1930s and '40s to the delight of millions. Many don't know that he also earned five Olympic gold medals for swimming before his renowned acting career -- or that he had five marriages. This authoritative biography of the first Tarzan, written by his only son, offers an intimate look at Weissmuller's early life, middle years, and later decline, covering his experiences from swimming training and Olympic triumphs to failed marriages, phenomenal stardom, and a subsequent career as Jungle Jim. A sensitive yet unsentimental portrayal of the man who was Tarzan to movie fans around the world, Tarzan, My Father includes interviews with his father's celebrity friends and former wives, recollections of conversations with his father over the years, and family stories involving Hollywood stars such as Humphrey Bogart.
