Ron’s daughter, Kirsten Ely, announced his death on social media, noting that the world has lost one of the greatest men of all time. In the series "Tarzan," Ron Ely presented a contemporary and more civilized version of the character, who decides to return to the jungle where he was raised.
The actor solidified a modern representation of the character with the help of his powerful physique and expressive movements. During filming, he himself performed complex stunts, which led to injuries, including a lion bite. Ron Ely went to court, but the judge ruled that the police actions fell within the scope of self-defense.
Additionally, Ron Ely wrote two detective novels. His talent and charisma leave an unforgettable mark in the history of art, and the role of Tarzan will become his brightest production.
