Chrissie is gone

Susan Backlinie, aka Chrissie Watkins, aka the first victim of JAWS, has passed away at 77. A movie death never affected me so much, esp as a little kid, probably the same for millions around the world. Got to meet her at a convention a few years back. She was so sweet and loved the fact there were fans who adored her and appreciated her. She also had a cameo in 1941, another Spielberg film. She also had a spread in the January '73 Penthouse. Beautiful woman and beautiful soul. RIP Chrissie.
