Of all the on-screen Tarzans, Gordon Scott came the closest to accurately portraying Edgar Rice Burroughs' original character. Scott's Tarzan is strong and smart, educated and articulate and he played him six times both on television and in the movies in the late '50's. The best of all his films is Tarzan's Greatest Adventure - which is not available but you can see it from time to time on Turner Classic Movies.
Gordon Scott was eighty years old.
