Cheeta Say Get Off My Lawn!

PALM SPRINGS, Calif. (AP) - Cheeta the chimp, star of a dozen "Tarzan" movies in the 1930s and 1940s, celebrated his 74th birthday with sugar-free cake. Although healthy and active, Cheeta is diabetic. "He had a good time. The party went real good," said keeper Dan Westfall, operator of the primate sanctuary Creative Habitats and Enrichment for Endangered and Threatened Apes - or CHEETA.

He shares a birthday with hoofer Joel Grey and Meshach Taylor of 'Designing Women.'
