Cheeta lives!

If you grew up in the 1950's and '60's, you're going to love this story... Boozy chimp to write memoirs:

A CHIMPANZEE which co-starred in a dozen Tarzan flicks back in the 1930s is publishing his memoirs after overcoming addictions to booze and cigars.

Somehow Cheeta the Chimp managed to survive to old age. Now 75 years old, he is officially listed in the Guinness World Records as the oldest living non-human primate.

The California resident, whose real name is Jiggs, has nabbed a literary agent and is working with a ghostwriter on a "funny, moving and searingly honest" autobiography.

Who would have thought he was still alive? I grew up with Cheeta and "Boy." Can't wait to read the book...and what a brilliant title; "Me Cheeta." You had to be there!
