Just When You Thought It Was Safe to Go Back into the Water—Snakkle Celebrates the Stars of Jaws
Has it really been over 39 years since we first developed a fear of dark water and John Williams's use of a tuba? In 1975, Steven Spielberg’s Jaws introduced us to menacing man-eating sharks and Roy Scheider’s scowl. The film was a huge box office success, with a worldwide gross of $470,600,000, the highest of its time. Naturally, Hollywood followed up with three sequels, Jaws 2 (1978), Jaws 3-D (1983), and Jaws: The Revenge (1987). Snakkle catches up with the stars of the franchise to find out what they are up to today. By Katherine Butler
Lea Thompson in Jaws 3-D, 1983
Lea Thompson is perky, ill-fated water-skier Kelly Ann Bukowski in Jaws 3-D. Lucky for Lea, the shark merely snacks on her leg before going on to attempt to drown everyone else in a nearby underwater tunnel. Though it is the screaming extras and not the shark to be blamed in this case—the first rule of surviving a horror movie is to avoid shark-flanked underwater tunnels at all costs.
