Tarzán

.... The recent sad death of Ron Ely prompted me to do this tribute... me and my brother absolutely loved this show, the stirring theme is still with us both and we both remember this with great fondness. Mr. Ely, I think was the best Tarzan, certainly on the TV, and up there with the greatest, for me, and the very first, former Olympic athlete Johnny Weissmuller,(... I remember Johnny and his first two films were incredibly violent, I thought, for the times they were made in, but incredible fun as well...). I understand , in an article that I once read that Ron was a very very intelligent man but didn't suffer fools gladly and was not shy of telling people what he thought of them, because of this, I remember reading, that he upset a lot of people in the film business and maybe did not get as many jobs as he should have done. Anyhow, this show was often repeated in the 60s and 70s and we loved it, from The action, excitement and very often superb famous guest stars appearing for instance I remember that Diana Ross the Supremes in an episode, playing nuns if I remember rightly. Great Fun. Rest in peace,Sir. We loved you.
