Elmo Lincoln, Elmo Lincoln (February 6, 1889 – June 27, 1952) was an American film actor.Born Otto Elmo Linkenhelt, the barrel-chested actor is best known in his silent movie role as the first Tarzan in 1918s Tarzan of the Apes as an adult -- (Gordon Griffith played him as a child in the same movie). He portrayed the character twice more—in The Romance of Tarzan (also 1918) and in the 1921 serial The Adventures of Tarzan.Following the end of the silent movie era, Elmo left Hollywood and tried his hand at mining. In the late 1930s, he returned to the film industry, most often employed as an extra. He appeared, uncredited, in two Tarzan films in the 1940s—as a circus roustabout in Tarzans New York Adventure (1942), and as a fisherman repairing his net in Tarzans Magic Fountain (1949).His final work saw him also playing a brief, uncredited role in Carrie, starring Laurence Olivier. According to Tarzan of the Movies, by Gabe Essoe, Lincoln was quite proud of his work in this film, as he was an admirer of Olivier.Lincoln died of a heart attack in 1952, aged 63, and was interred in the Hollywood Memorial Park Cemetery.For his contribution to the motion picture industry, he has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 7042 Hollywood Boulevard.In 2001, his daughter Marcia Lincoln Rudolph told his story in her book, My Father, Elmo Lincoln: The Original Tarzan (ISBN 1-58690-000-5).[edit] Selected filmography1913: The Battle at Elderbush Gulch1913: Judith of Bethulia1914: Brute Force1915: Buckshot John1915: Birth of a Nation1915: The Slave Girl1916: The Fatal Glass of Beer1916: Intolerance1916: Hoodoo Ann1917: Aladdin and the Wonderful Lamp1917: The Bad Boy1918: Tarzan of the Apes1918: The Kaiser, the Beast of Berlin1918: The Romance of Tarzan1918: Treasure Island1918: The Greatest Thing in Life1919: The Fall of Babylon (re-edited from Intolerance)1919: Elmo the Mighty1920: The Flaming Disc1921: Elmo the Fearless1921: The Adventures of Tarzan1922: Quincy Adams Sawyer1927: King of the Jungle1939: Union Pacific1939: The Hunchback of Notre Dame1939: Colorado Sunset1939: Wyoming Outlaw1942: Tarzans New York Adventure1944: When the Lights Go on Again1945: The Man Who Walked Alone1947: Rolling Home1947: A Double Life1948: Tap Roots1949: Tarzans Magic Fountain1951: Hollywood Story1952: Carrie[edit] External linksElmo Lincoln at the Internet Movie DatabaseHonorary titlesPreceded by(originator with Gordon Griffith)Actors to portray Tarzan1918-1921Succeeded byGene PollarPersondataNameLincoln, ElmoAlternative namesShort descriptionDate of birthFebruary 6, 1889Place of birthRochester, IndianaDate of deathJune 27, 1952Place of deathLos Angeles, CaliforniaThis article about a United States film actor or actress born in the 1880s is a stub.
