Do You Need To Be Tarzan To Speak Up?|Women’s Issues
Johnnie Weissmuller’s voice remains the most powerful version of Tarzan’s call I’ve ever heard. When I listen to it I inevitably want to beat my chest and let loose with a yell of my own. Well, that’s what Raven Goodwin’s character, Becca, did on the July 12th episode of ABC Family’s HUGE entitled “Live Action [...]
