Johnny Sheffield, the former child actor who played the role of Boy in the Tarzan movies of the late 1930s and 1940s with Johnny Weismuller, passed away this past Friday at his Chula Vista, California home from a heart attack at age 79, four hours after having fallen off a ladder while pruning a palm tree.
Mr. Sheffield went on to star in his own series of films playing the role of Bomba the Jungle Boy.
After leaving Hollywood, Johnny went on to earn a business degree at UCLA and eventually went into real estate.
