Kidnapped from the Liberian jungle, Cheeta grew up fast in the libidinous jungle of Hollywood, hanging out with the alpha males - Kirk and Clark and Doug Jr. - and jostling for the attention of the dominant females - Kate and Marlene and Bette. He didn't stint with the booze and the Lucky Strikes, lost his virginity to a bonobo (a cruel joke played by Charlie Chaplin) and snorted "star-powder" (a homeopathic remedy, they told him).
