An Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Johnny Weissmuller was an Austro-Hungarian (now Romania) actor from the 1920s to the 1970s. He was the 1924 Olympic swimming champion, and he set a number of world records, and he never lost a race. In 1940, at the age of 36, he broke his own world record in the 100-yard freestyle, which he had set 13 years earlier, and which stood for another 4 years before finally being broken after 17 years! But of course, he is best remembered for playing Tarzan starting in 1932 (in "Tarzan the Ape Man", followed by "Tarzan and His Mate", and many others!), and later he starred as Jungle Jim in the 1950s. Weissmuller passed away in 1984 at the age of 79 AND Lupe Velez was a well loved Mexican actress during the late 1920s to the early 1940s and best remembered as Carmelita Lindsay in the "Mexican Spitfire" series of movies. Her romantic life, however, was a disaster (including a battling on again off again romance with Johnny Weissmuller), so much so that in 1944, she committed suicide with sleeping pills while pregnant with her first child. Lupe was 36. Some of her movies include: Kongo, The Half Naked Truth, The Gaucho, The Squaw Man, Mexican Spitfire Out West, Mexican Spitfire, and the Girl from Mexico. Note that she was married to Johnny Weissmuller in the 1930s. Condition: very good. Learn More about condition grades
