Johnny Sheffield, who played the character Boy in the Tarzan movies of the 1930s and '40s, has died at age 79. His wife, Patty Sheffield, told the Los Angeles Times that he died Friday of a heart attack at his home in the San Diego suburb of Chula Vista. She says he fell off a ladder while pruning a palm tree four hours earlier. Sheffield beat out more than 300 other youngsters for the role of Boy in the 1939 movie 'Tarzan Finds a Son!' and went on to co-star with Johnny Weissmuller in seven more Tarzan films. (Photo: Sheffield, center, with Johnny and Johnny Weissmuller, Jr. in 1945.) Sheffield spoke to the AP shortly after Weissmuller's death in 1984, saying that the actor was always "kind and tender toward me and that "he was like a father to me." He later played another jungle boy, Bomba, in a dozen movies but quit the business after the last one 1955. Johnny Sheffield went on to earn a business degree and worked for various companies and in contracting and real estate. Despite being out of the business for decades, he continued to get fan mail. "The mail always says, 'Hey, we want to thank you a lot for some good times at the movie show,' " he said in a 1997 LA Times interview. "They watched the movies, went home and put up a rope and started swinging." Sheffield is survived by his wife, two sons and a daughter.

I used to get him mixed up with David Doyle of Charlie's Angels. They both sounded the same and looked a little bit alike to me.

CARMEL, Calif. – Pioneering TV cartoon artist Alexander Anderson Jr., who created Rocky the flying squirrel and Bullwinkle the moose, has died. He was 90. Anderson's son Terry tells the Los Angeles Times his father died at a Carmel nursing home on Friday after battling Alzheimer's disease. The elder Anderson was a longtime resident of Pebble Beach. Anderson teamed up with his childhood friend and former University of California, Berkeley, fraternity brother Jay Ward to make low-budget TV cartoons. Their creations also included Crusader Rabbit and his pal Rags the Tiger and Dudley Do-Right of the Mounties. The syndicated "Crusader Rabbit" became the first animated TV series in the 1950s. "Rocky and His Friends" debuted in 1959 on ABC.

Aww, I loved those cartoons. My sister and I would always try to talk like Natasha and end up in giggles at our bad southernized Russian accents.
