Champion swimmer and motion picture hero. Best known as star of a dozen "Tarzan" films produced for MGM and RKO, 1932-1948. He earlier won fame as a swimmer: developed the "American crawl," set 67 world records, and won five gold medals in the 1924 and 1928 Olympics. He lived in Windber as a child before his family moved to Chicago; returned here for special visits in later years.
