Robert Shaw was born in Westhoughton, a small ex-mining town near Bolton in the north-west of England. He's the only famous person the town can claim. There's a plaque on the town hall and the local library has a pitifully inadequate exhibit to the man. There's a pub on the high street called the ROBERT SHAW. Shaw's father was the local doctor, and he delivered my deceased father-in-law, so I guess Robert Shaw is family. (tenuous, I know.)

Every time the actor Richard Dreyfuss talks about playing along with Robert Shaw in "Jaws" he gets emotional because he really liked Robert Shaw and when he met his daughter, he actually got emotional over meeting her. Richard felt that Robert Shaw was one of the finest actor, despite the fact he was supposed to be despised by Robert in the movie Jaws. Being interviewed showed Richard getting upset about Robert Shaw.

Plus, he's been a commercial fisherman for decades, so all that sun exposure would certainly "age" him. It's apparent Quint led a very tough life.

Spencer Tracy was probably the best at that. You never once realized he was an actor doing his job and doing it very well. Klugman and Cage just try too hard. Look for that next time you watch them.

The carving up of various interviews and TV programs is down to simple economics: you can make more money from KZfaq ads on four video segments culled from a fifty minute show as opposed to a single fifty minute video. Plus as attention spans have been lowered in recent years, shorter form clips perform better than those with a longer duration.

What I loved about Shaw's portrayal of the Sheriff of Nottingham was that Shaw didn't play him as a snarling villain like you usually see in Robin Hood movies. No, Shaw played him as a man doing a job and nothing more. He didn't hate Robin Hood, they were just on opposite sides and I found that refreshing. "That's Robin Hood?!? Arrest him!!" "I haven't enough men, milord."

From Westhoughton in Lancashire. Sometimes known as Cow Head City among locals. The story goes that a cow got its head stuck in a five bar gate and rather than ruin a perfectly good gate they cut the cow’s head off. It’s a small town between Bolton and Wigan and there is a bar there called The Robert Shaw.

I just met Carl Gottlieb--the co-screenwriter of "Jaws"--a few weeks ago, in 2023, and he told me it was Shaw that wrote the USS Indianapolis monologue in the movie. That's notable, because many others have tried to take credit for the scene. But Gottlieb said it was Shaw.

They could simply phrase something the wrong way, and their career would tank instantly. This is why you don't see actors like Christian Bale or Gwyneth Paltrow actually addressing issues in a free-form question-and-answer format. Oh, they'll sign up for the right petition or release the carefully spun appropriate statement, but they'll **never** sit down in an interview show and say what they actually believe.
