Cheeta the Chimp: Give Me My Star!
There’s nothing worse than getting snubbed by an industry you helped create. And Cheeta the Chimpanzee is mounting his eighth attempt at being recognized on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
The 76-year-old primate is said to have outlived contemporaries, battled addiction, and even made it into the record books throughout the duration of his long-standing career.
Probably his most famous role was as Tarzan’s sidekick, and Cheeta is an American film icon that his owner/trainer Dan Westfall says deserves the honor.
“We’re starting his campaign for the eighth time. He’s been turned down seven times so we feel the eighth time will be the magic number.”
Enjoy the pictures of Cheeta the Chimp present-day and in a few of his movie outfits.
