<v Speaker 1>Ten thousand dollars for me by myself. For that, you

00:00:03.919 --> 00:00:07.519
<v Speaker 1>get the head, the tale, the whole damn thing.

3
00:00:09.560 --> 00:00:11.839
<v Speaker 2>You know. It's hard to believe, but it's the fiftieth

4
00:00:11.839 --> 00:00:15.480
<v Speaker 2>anniversary of Steven Spielberg's Jaws, and fifty years later, I've

5
00:00:15.560 --> 00:00:18.359
<v Speaker 2>just finished a book called Robert Shaw, An Actor's Life

6
00:00:18.399 --> 00:00:21.120
<v Speaker 2>on the Set of Jaws and Beyond. It's written by

7
00:00:21.120 --> 00:00:25.079
<v Speaker 2>his nephew, Christopher Shaw Myers. To suggest that Robert Shaw

8
00:00:25.120 --> 00:00:28.320
<v Speaker 2>the actor was a complex individual would be an understatement.

9
00:00:28.399 --> 00:00:29.920
<v Speaker 3>The book is really about two things.

10
00:00:30.039 --> 00:00:33.039
<v Speaker 2>Robert Shaw's family, his close relationship with his sister and

11
00:00:33.079 --> 00:00:35.560
<v Speaker 2>a more challenging one with his mother, along of course,

12
00:00:35.600 --> 00:00:37.960
<v Speaker 2>with his career on the stage as both a performer

13
00:00:38.079 --> 00:00:40.640
<v Speaker 2>and playwright, and a string of hit movies from Russia

14
00:00:40.679 --> 00:00:43.759
<v Speaker 2>with Love a Man for All Seasons, and of course Jaws.

15
00:00:43.960 --> 00:00:46.439
<v Speaker 2>An intimate portrait of an iconic.

16
00:00:46.119 --> 00:00:47.719
<v Speaker 3>Actor that is well worth the read.
