This couple was more the outdoorsy type - at least in their films. He gave us a rugged and athletic Tarzan, and she gave us a beautiful and tender Jane. Who was this couple that shared the screen in the Tarzan films Tarzan the Ape Man and Tarzan and His Mate?

Johnny Weissmuller was the undefeated men's swimming champion, winning five gold medals, 67 world and 52 national titles. He was good-looking, so he seemed a natural for the athletic role of Tarzan. Maureen O' Sullivan, who would later give birth to actress Mia Farrow, was also an expert swimmer. The two were paired for six films including Tarzan the Ape Man, Tarzan and His Mate, Tarzan Escapes, Tarzan Finds a Son!, Tarzan's Secret Treasure, Tarzan's New York Adventure, and 28 years later the couple was reunited in The Phynx.
