What, they couldn't get Elmo Lincoln?
I think it was a wise decision to leave him at his Hollywood Forever residence. In fact, I can't exactly applaud the decision to get James Pierce up there in a loin cloth either.
At least -- and thank God -- it looks like the former Janes had enough sense to nix the whole deal.
Jim Pierce looks mighty grouchy up there in his loincloth. He was, as I recall, married to Burroughs' daughter. Perhaps he was calculating the royalties the Burroughs estate would earn from the TV show? I remember liking the show.
If my math is right, Ron Ely should be 72 now. So anatomically speaking, he's probably looking about like Weissmuller is here.
James Pierce? That's
Frank Barone! Holy crap!!!
yeeehaww..look'it all them Tarz'ns!
lol..Pierce looks like .."You mugs don't know how ta grip a vine!
Gordon Scott was my favorite TARZAN -- best Tarzan flicks ever: TARZAN'S GREATEST ADVENTURE (with Sean Connery as a bad guy) and TARZAN THE MAGNIFICENT (with Mahoney as a bad guy).
