The Making of the Movie SheenaTo some, she was the female Tarzan. To others, she was the sexiest pin-up of their teenage years. She was Sheena, Queen of the Jungle. The making of the 1984 movie Sheena was an adventure worthy of a behind-the-scenes book, and thats what the films executive producer, Yoram Ben-Ami, has written in My Adventure with Sheena, Queen of the Jungle.Completed days before actress Tanya Robertss tragic death, My Adventure with Sheena, Queen of the Jungle is a tribute not only to its hard-working star but to the scores of technicians who made the first major studio film shot entirely in Africa. Ben-Ami was there for all of it and writes about working with Roberts, dealing with a director who wouldnt take no for an answer, and a rhinoceros that wouldnt take direction.Sheena was controversial for its portrayal of a white heroine who rises to save African culture. The film could not be made today, but it was made, and it offers historical perspective of how far we have come and how far we have yet to go. Israeli-born American producer Yoram Ben-Ami had just scored a hit with Lone Wolf McQuade when he embarked with director John Guillermin, stars Tanya Roberts and Ted Wass, and a menagerie of trained animals to mix with the wild animals of Africa and make what everyone thought was going to be the box office smash of 1984. Ben-Amis behind-the-scenes tales make for exciting, informative, funny, and sometimes touching reading. Yoram Ben-Ami has produced more than a dozen films including Lone Wolf McQuade, Jury Duty, The Lion of Africa, and Stone Cold. His previous book for BearManor was Guiding Royalty: My Adventure with Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton. He lives in the Los Angeles area.
