RIP Susan Backlinie
I loved the parody scene in “1941”. Horrywood
Day of the Animals was a good 70’s tv movie.
Did she die again in Jaws 2, the sequel.

Having read the novel a year before the film came out, I knew that the first chomp on Chrissy took her leg cleanly off at the knee. Her performance, with my mind filling in the unseen with what Benchley gruesomely described, made the scene even horrifying to me. She did a great a job.
That movie Jaws freaked me out so damn much when I saw it in 1975. I was around 14 and use to go to the beach all the time and swim way out from shore. After that movie I wouldn’t go deeper than my waist and still to this day won’t especially after seeing that Russian get eaten

It occured to me when he’s trying to swim away why we don’t see him arms. Because he doesn’t have any. Swim out? NO WAY! EVer!
[cause of death has been determined.]
Linked source (now) says fatal heart attack.
“Jaws star Susan Backlinie dies aged 77:”
No disrespect to Ms Backinie but she was in the movie for 5 minutes. She was not the “star”.
This movie scared the crap out of me. Now it’s laughable of why it scared the crap out of me.
77 is the new 90.
Wake me up when whoever it was that played the shark dies.
There’s that word again.
“Star” has to be the most misused word in journalism. Everyone who appeared in a show or movie, is not a star.
If she was a star, she wouldn’t have been the first one killed off. “Stars get better parts than that. Simple.
Rest In Peace, Susan.
