Roy Scheider


I just read about the death of Roy Scheider...you know, the police chief in "Jaws". He was 75 and the report I read did not list a cause of death.

I remember the first time I saw "Jaws"...it completely freaked me out! Now that I am older, I am still freaked out but for different reasons. You see, it's that scene where Roy and his family are at the beach and his son wanders off and they can't find him....FREAK me out!! Just thinking about not being able to find my child on a packed beach like that just slays me...now add to the fact that there is a shark out there eating everything in it's path...yep, this scene makes me completely sick with fear! lol!

It is a really good movie though...and I'm sure I'll watch it again the next time it's on TBS!

He was a good actor. He will be missed. Thank goodness we have his work on film to remember him.

The report I read said he had blood cancer. I still have a difficult time swimming in the ocean.

It's kinda like when you leave your friend out to dry by going out with another friend and not calling your other friend. Don't worry, I wouldn't hang you out to dry and let Jaws eat your leg off!
