En æra er forbi: Ron Ely, den ikoniske Tarzan fra 60'erne, har sagt farvel til junglen i en alder af 86. #Tarzan #RonEly

I weekenden mistede verden en af sine mest legendariske TV-stjerner, Ron Ely. Den 86-årige skuespiller, bedst kendt for sin rolle som Tarzan i NBC's klassiske serie fra 1960'erne, døde i Los Alamos ifølge hans datters meddelelse. Ely, en muskuløs Texas-dreng med en charme, der kunne charmere både dyr og mennesker, brændte sig fast i vores kollektive hukommelse som manden, der kunne tale med aberne og springe fra træ til træ med stil.

Men Ron Elys karriere var ikke kun begrænset til junglen; han var også med i populære shows som Wonder Woman og The Love Boat i 1980'erne. Udover sin heltepræstation som Tarzan viste Ely, at han kunne stråle som gæstestjerne, hvilket gav ham en lang række roller, der gjorde ham til et velkendt ansigt i de amerikanske stuer, selv når han ikke svingede sig fra lianer til lianer.

Tragedien ramte dog i 2019, da Ely's liv blev smadret af en hændelse, der involverede hans egen søn. Det er en strukturel skæbne for en mand, der tidligere havde været omfavnet af både publikum og reklamer. Mens Elys liv havde sine op- og nedture, vil hans bidrag til film- og tv-verdener altid blive husket med ære.

Selvom han ikke længere kan svinge sig gennem junglen, vil Ron Elys legende liv og karriere leve videre i vores hjerter. Vidste du, at Ely blev opdaget af en talentagent i en koffert og dermed fik sin første rolle? Og som en sjov detalje, er han også en voksenmester i svømning - ikke dårligt for en mand, der skulle spille en vild mand i junglen!
