Fifty years ago this month the film JAWS <\/em>began filming on Martha\u2019s Vineyard.\u00a0 The first scene shot consisted of members of the cast finding the remains of a young girl who had gone for a midnight swim and been attacked by a shark.\u00a0 The young woman\u2019s name was Christine Watkins, and she was played by Susan Backlinie.\u00a0 Ms. Backlinie passed away today (May 11th<\/sup>) at the age of 77.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

A skilled swimmer, Susan easily found work as a \u201cMermaid\u201d at the Weeki Wachie attraction in Florida in the mid-1960s.\u00a0 I remember my grandparents taking me there but it was after Susan had moved on to become an animal trainer.\u00a0 Her work, and beauty, was later profiled in the January 1973 issue of \u201cPenthouse\u201d magazine.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Her first film role was as Chrissie Watkins, the first victim of the shark in JAWS<\/em>.\u00a0 Swimming naked in the Atlantic Ocean she is attacked and violently killed, her body thrashing across the water as her screams go unheard.\u00a0 Clinging to a buoy as her life slowly flows out of her, she recites the Lord\u2019s Prayer, to no avail.\u00a0 The scene set the tone for the film and was not easily forgotten by filmgoers.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Her work in JAWS<\/em> got her noticed and soon she was working as a stuntwoman, appearing in such films as Grizzly, Day of the Animals<\/em>, and Two-Minute Warning<\/em> and on such television programs as \u201cThe Incredible Hulk\u201d and, naturally, \u201cThe Fall Guy.\u201d\u00a0 She also recreated her midnight swim to comic effect when Steven Spielberg cast her as the Polar Bear swimmer who finds herself \u201cattacked\u201d by a submarine in 1941<\/em>.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I first met Susan at the 1st<\/sup> JAWSFest in 2005.She was very nice, answered questions and signed autographs for anyone that asked.\u00a0 It wasn\u2019t until the next JAWSFest, in 2012, that our paths would cross again.\u00a0 My wife and I were in Menemsha visiting a small shop when I noticed both Susan and Jeff Kramer standing around outside.\u00a0 I said hello and Kramer commented that they had been waiting for sometime for someone from the Fest to come pick them up and take them back to Edgartown.\u00a0 However, they couldn\u2019t get ahold of anyone.\u00a0 We quickly volunteered to take them back to town but, as they both were quite hungry \u2013 they had been at the shop for several hours \u2013 we offered to take them to lunch.\u00a0 Jeff recommended a small shack at the end of the harbor and we headed there.\u00a0 I was shocked to see that it was situated right next to the (still) vacant lot where quint\u2019s shack had been built.\u00a0 If you stood in the lot and looked towards the water you got the same view seen through the shark jaws when the ORCA pulls out of the harbor in JAWS<\/em>.\u00a0 We had a great lunch as both Susan and Jeff told some amazing stories.\u00a0 I would see her occasionally over the years, usually at fan conventions.\u00a0 She was always friendly.\u00a0 I last saw her the past October when she was a guest at ScareFest in Lexington, Kentucky.\u00a0 We said \u201chello\u201d and I presented her with a t-shirt highlighting our JAWS 50 group.\u00a0 She loved it.\u00a0 As we said our goodbyes, I noted that, among the items she was signing was a Star Wars<\/em> movie poster.\u00a0 I was curious and I asked her why.\u00a0 Had she possibly been a Stormtrooper in the film?\u00a0 No.\u00a0 As I mentioned earlier, Susan was an animal trainer and had, among her animals, a bear cub.\u00a0 Her cub\u2019s growl was recorded and was used for the growls of Chewbacca the Wookie!\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Susan is survived by her husband of nearly three decades, Harvey Swindall.\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n
