Actress and stuntwoman Susan Backlinie passed away yesterday. Backlinie became a screen legend on the strength of just one scene - as Chrissie Watkins, the unfortunate first shark attack victim on Amity Island in the classic film Jaws. Considering that she had to portray someone having something unimaginable happening to them, I always thought she did an amazing job in conveying Chrissie's horrific death.
Not one frame of gore and you knew exactly what was happening to this poor woman.
RIP Susan Backlinie
