Gordon Scott, who portrayed an "intelligent and nice" Tarzan in 1950s movies, has died. He was 80.
Scott, who had been living in a working class section of south Baltimore, died Monday at Johns Hopkins Hospital of post-heart surgery complications, a hospital spokesman said.
Scott made 24 movies including "Tarzan and the Lost Safari" (1957), "Tarzan's Fight for Life" (1958), "Tarzan and the Trappers" (1958), "Tarzan's Greatest Adventure" (1959) and "Tarzan the Magnificent" (1960).

Sorry to hear Mr. Scott has passed on. His Tarzan films were some of my favorite movies when I was a kid.

I read the title of the thread and thought, "Hound Girl better not be leaving the 'Fire!"  But it turned out it was about Tarzan. Whew!  Penny

Actually, truth be told, my REAL all-time favorite simian was Clyde in those old Clint Eastwood movies... "Any Which Way But Loose," etc. Penny

Me too. Clarity folks clarity. That would be a good news story.
Too bad about Tarzan though. They just don't make movies like that any more.

Seems he was a good man. He was also one of the few that had the physique to play Tarzan.

Jane Fonda is/was an embarassment to America. However, even though I absolutely do NOT approve of her politics, I don't wish her dead.
I have the feeling she's paid dearly for her antics in North Vietnam. How she escaped being charged as a "traitor" or as giving "aid and comfort to the enemy" is beyond my comprehensive.
It seems likely that she was a source of embarassment to her family & friends... especially to her father, Henry Fonda, who was a fine, much beloved and appreciated actor in his own right.
I don't "hate" her... I tend to feel "pity" for her. The only thing I question is whether or not she deserves any pity.

I doubt if Jane feels bad. After all it was everyone else who was wrong. And Henry, while a "beloved actor," was pretty much a left wing pinko.

I happened to catch Jane Fonda on David Letterman last night (5/8/07). I don't know whether it was a rerun or what, but Jane talked about her guns (!) and then told a story of when she ran into a cougar when she was out turkey hunting (!!!). I still can't stand to watch her and left the room at the commercial break, so I don't know if it was a prolonged joke or what, but I was kind of amazed by the whole thing. Maybe she's not just a pinko bimbo, but a gun-toting pinko bimbo!
