he was dead broke in the late 1960's.....he came to Tucson and was a greeter at Flash TV, an electronic store and passed out photos of himself which I got. It was a few years after that he went to Mexico.....he was still broke..sad ending.
When I was very young (5 or 6) my Dad was working for NASA in Florida. We lived down the street from Johnny. I remember him as a very nice man who used to sing for the kids in the neighborhood. One unusual thing about his house I remember was his garage was in a hollowed out side of a hill.
My father was a lifeguard at Diversy Avenue beach in Chicago in the mid-1920's. A fellow lifeguard was Jonny Wiessmuller's brother. So Johnny often came to swim at Diversy. My father often would like to claim that the City of Chicago paid him to make sure Johnny Weissmuller did not drown
Biographies disagree with this video as to where Johnny was born. They place his birth at Szabadfalu, Romania, which was part of the Austro Hungarian Empire then.

I always like Johnny as Tarzan, he is part of my childhood tv viewing memories… same with Maureen and Johnny Sheffield 🥰
Me too
Loved him and my childhood was great watching him with my dad. Great memories
He signed me an autograph picture with a smile,he seemed like a good guy.
Johnny was the best Tarzan!The others don’t match Johnny ! RIP Johnny
There is only one Tarzan, one Johnny W, and one awesome swimmer. I followed him all my childhood. He was the greatest.

A documentary that belies its title. The last years were an afterthought

He was born in Romania in the Timisoara city.
