The Jaws Obsession Episode 77: Farewell Susan

  • Summary

  • The Jaws Universe is mourning the loss of Susan Backlinie, the stuntwoman who played the doomed first shark victim, Chrissie Watkins in Jaws.

    Can we frame Susan's performance as one of the greatest stunt performances in cinema history? Through articles and interviews, and the voice of Steven Spielberg, we aim to prove Susan Backlinie belongs in the stunt performance history books.

    In memory of:

    Susan Backlinie (September 1, 1946 - May 11, 2024)
