Bruce Bennett (1909-2007). As Herman Blix he was a star shot-putter in the 1928 Olympics, who after nearly getting the lead in MGM’s Tarzan the Ape Man (1932), was picked by Edgar Rice Buroughs for his own production of The New Adventures of Tarzan in 1935. Bennett later made a number of serials for Republic. After this he dropped out for a few years, took acting lessons, and changed his name to Bruce Bennett, dropping his Tarzan connections. He became a successful leading man in many movies, including The Treasure of the Sierra Madre .
10x8 black and white photo of Bennett as Tarzan with knife in hand standing over the lion he just killed, signed in black Sharpie.
In very good condition.
