A sad Jaws farewell - Roy Scheider is gone

[innerSpaceman]

OMG, Jaws came up in conversations I had last night and again tonight. Now I feel it was premonitionatory. Oh no! What a fantastic actor.

Ooooh, I think I'm gonna have to watch All That Jazz ... if I can stand the creepiness of a nevertheless great Roy Scheider film that's basically all about his character dying.

I definitely recommend it - it's a fantastic film, but also a downbeat and harsh one. (Fosse was brutally frank about himself here.) It may be particularly chilling to watch the ending in view of

Spoiler:

the final shot of the film - Roy's body being zipped up into a body bag.

Actually, I just re-watched it about three weeks ago. It's a real roller coaster.
