Chim the chimp - Chimpanzee on the jungle adventure SHEENA, QUEEN OF THE JUNGLE/SYN/1955-56. Chim was the simian sidekick of Sheena, (Irish McCalla) an airplane crash survivor who grew up in the jungles of Africa. Together, Sheena and Chim defended their jungle kingdom with cunning, strength and a spear carried by Sheena. The role of Chim was played by Neal the Chimp. According to Irish McCalla, (the program's star who wore a one-piece leopard skin costume) "Chim used to trip me all of the time." It seemed that Chim had a fixation for her leather moccasins. He loved to smell and chew on them." (Starlog magazine No. 89).
