Mind the Tree

----
THE hardest-working chimp in showbiz is spending his twilight years in California.

But life isn't as much fun as a barrel of monkeys for Cheeta, the chimp who starred in the classic Tarzan movies of the '30s and '40s, when he swung through the jungle with Tarzan

At age 71, the retired chimp has been forced to give up his favorite pleasures - beer (about a case a day!) and cigars.

Chimpanzees usually live to 40 or 45 in the wild, while those in captivity reach the mid-50s. But Cheeta - the world's oldest chimp - shows no sign of slowing down.
