Ah, that's sad. I know Jaws is a big deal and everything, but I'll always remember him best from 2010. I love that movie so much.

Another veteran star with indisputable screen presence...that's really too bad.

This is TERRIBLE!!! I'm not over Anne Bancroft and Suzanne Pleshette yet.

These people I looked on as my contemporaries. Death is coming too close.

Mr. Scheider was in large part responsible for the birth of my son. Way back on June 30, l975, I took Amelia to the movies to see "Jaws"; she was about two weeks past her due date, was the size of a Volkswagen bus, and announced over dinner that she wanted this baby, "....OUT NOW! I don't care if they use an ice cream scoop and a salad fork. I WANT IT OUT!!!"

Off went for a fun evening at the movies. We took our seats and thoroughly enjoyed the film. Then came the part where Scheider and Dreyfus
are looking at the sunken boat of a friend, and the guy's head pops out of a hole in the side of the boat. Well, Amelia had a COW, began having twinges that turned int labor pains and, TAAAA DAAAA, a baby boy was born the next morning.
