Susan Backlinie, the First Victim of the Shark in ‘Jaws,' Dies at 77
The original Jaws movie freaked out a nation that summer of 75. I lived at beach town and suddenly became afraid of the ocean. Many were afraid of the deep end of a pool

Trivia

• Ms. Backlinie is the swimmer in the opening scene who becomes the first victim of the shark in Jaws (1975). She later spoofed this scene in Spielberg's 1941 (1979) but encounters a Japanese submarine instead of a toothy fish.
  
• Is a former stuntwoman who specialized in swimming work.
  
• Owned and trained a bear whose growls were later recorded for use as the voice of Chewbacca, according to Peter Mayhew tweet.
  
• Is a former wild animal trainer and sports diver.

Jaws is one of the greatest monster/horror movies. It made a lot of people afraid to go in the water.

I will never forget that summer Jaws came out. I was 7 yrs old and my uncle threw me into the deep end of the pool and I came up out of the water screaming "IT GOT ME AAAGGGGHHHH!!!” My mom totally freakin wigged out and everyone was laughing hysterical at her. The good old days. Then I think the following summer was all about "THE SON OF SAM” and nobody wanted to let their daughters out of the house. And don’t forget about the blackout in NYC and all the surrounding area. Yeah, the good old days!

Imprinting at it's Finest!!

It’s a good thing bull-sharks haven’t attacked people when they were being baptized in a river (maybe it’s happened, but it’s not widely known). 

Those sharks are actually the most vicious and can swim in fresh water.
