*NOTE: In 1975, you appeared on "The Mike Douglas Show" with
other previous Tarzan actors James Pierce, Buster Crabbe,
Johnny Weissmuller, Gordon Scott and Jock Mahoney. What was it like having so
many Tarzans together in one place, and did
all the veteran actors have many great stories to swap?
Denny Miller: It was special for me because I'd grown up with Johnny Weissmuller
as my hero. Buster Crabbe was, too.
Johnny was a jolly fellow. Always joking and doing the Tarzan yell, anywhere...
on the golf course, in the hotel lobby, out the
17th floor window of the hotel... ANYWHERE!!!!!!!!!!!! (TCC: Haha! That's
CLASSIC!!!)
Buster was just the opposite. He was a quiet man. We wrote each other about the
best way to teach fitness. Buster taught people
with Arthritis how to excercise in the pool. He was years ahead of the medical
profession about getting people with Arthritis
to move around and increase their range of motion. Many years later I taught
arthritics stretching at the Eisenhower Hospital
in Rancho Mirage, CA. Jocko was a jokester, a big overgrown kid. He was always
clowning around. James Pierce was very stately.
Great posture. He was a kind, thoughtful man. I didn't get to know Gordon Scott.
He made some of the best Tarzan films ever made.
He rode a rhino in one. That takes a lot more nerve than I've ever had.
