HERE’S OUR JANE!
To say that Australian actress Margot Robbie made a splash in 2014’s Wolf of Wall Street would be an understatement. She was hot, sure, but she also showed off serious acting chops across from Leonardo DiCaprio. She landed magazine covers and earned fashion’s love—and then she disappeared. But now she’s back, blowing up social media with those same model-like looks that earned her so much attention in the first place.

Tarzan Books Printed Over the Last 100 Years
Excellent article about all the Tarzan books that have been printed over the last 100 years by the Owl:
The literary Tarzan was born in October, 1912 when he appeared in a special issue of The All-Story, a popular magazine which usually serialized its stories in several issues, but the editors were so impressed with “Tarzan of the Apes” that they published the entire story in one issue. The author was, of course, Edgar Rice Burroughs, who was born in Chicago in 1875 and was virtually unknown to the reading public before Tarzan leaped into print in All-Story. Actually, it was the second story of Mr. Burroughs to be published in All-Story. His first story was a Martian romance which ran as a six-part serial from February to July, 1912, published under the pseudonym of “Norman Bean.” The story had been retitled by the editor as “Under the Moons of Mars.” Burroughs had used the pseudonym of “Normal Bean” to convince readers that he was not off his rocker by writing a fantasy of little green men from Mars. But the editors thought it was a typo and changed the name to “Norman Bean” when they published it. This ruined Burroughs’ little joke, so he dropped the alias and submitted all future stories under his own name. When Tarzan was first published in 1912, the title page read: “Tarzan of the Apes by Edgar Rice Burroughs (Norman Bean)” to identify the real name of the author of “Under the Moons of Mars” for the reading public.

The Perfect Tarzan and Jane Couple
Gisele Bundchen, super model and wife of Quarterback Tom Brady, knows what the good life really is.
In Gisele’s perfect world, she and her loving family would be out of the spotlight and deep in the jungle, living “like Tarzan and Jane.” “If I could choose, I’d be bare feet, with animals all around me and living in a tree house,” said Gisele, who made $47 million in 2014. “I’m at my happiest around nature.”

Johnny Weissmuller, Famous as Tarzan, Was Also a Record-Setting Swimmer!
The Guardian has written a nice little piece about Johny Weissmuller, who starred as Tarzan in six different movies for MGM in mid 1955s. But few know he was also a highly-accomplished swimmer who set a world-record that went undefeated for some ten years!
The guy – whose name was Johnny Weissmuller, and who had just been given the role of Tarzan – could definitely swim. In fact, “the world’s greatest swimmer” was true then, and it’s probably still true today. To get a measure of just how good he was, try this single fact for size: in 10 years of competition swimming, Johnny Weissmuller never lost a race. Not once.
