The “Lake” George was thrown in was known as “Tarzan” lake where they filmed the Johnny Weissmuller Tarzan films of the 1940′s.
* Located across Ballona Creek from the main 40 Acres backlot was a small jungle and lake set which was prominently featured in RKO’s Tarzan films of the 1940′s (from The Andy Griffith Show)

Two Chairs No Waiting

Thank you for coming back for our second episode of Two Chairs No Waiting where we continue with the second of our four part interview with George Lindsey .  I reported last time that the interview was done in Jim Clark’s living room but I mistakenly left out the fact that my wonderful wife Jan was there in the room with George, Jim, Kenneth and myself.  It *was* ten years ago and I couldn’t remember exactly who was there but she knew….you could tell by the way she was looking at me….she knew she was the one…..the one I left out of my list. Kind’a reminded me of “Ole Sam” the way she was looking at me.

This is part 2 of a four part interview with George Lindsey.
