- Manis (orangutan)
-
Manis was the trained orangutan who played Clyde, Clint Eastwood's orangutan sidekick from the 1978 box office hit Every Which Way But Loose. Its 1980 sequel, Any Which Way You Can (1980), did not feature Manis, as he had grown too much between productions. The orang who played Clyde in the second film died of a cerebral haemorrhage shortly after the film wrapped.[1]
Manis returned to working with her trainers' act in Las Vegas.[2]
