Robert Shaw was the very best thing about Jaws. What an incredible talent.

That was very sweet and generous of Dreyfuss to say such nice things about Robert Shaw to his granddaughter.You could see that she was moved by it too.

what a big hearted guy.. I think my Dreyfuss Fan Stock just doubled its value. Wonderful actor and human being :).

How very kind of Dreyfuss. He does seem to have a big heart.

Shows what a great man Dreyfuss is; that he could drop all pretense and just feel the emotion, regardless of the fact he was being watched by millions. So cool. I've noticed when people get older, they remember a comrade who has passed on, even one who may have been initially troublesome to deal with, with much tenderness and fondness. If we could only have that sense of grace all of our life, and while in the midst of our (sometimes hard) interactions with others.

I had no idea Robert shaw was just 51 years old when he died Richard and Robert both great actors loved them in 75 JAWS

Wow, it's real humility that, very rarely seen or expressed from someone with his status so to speak, pretty heart warming. The scene when Shaw and him are talking about the Indianapolis was astounding.

Incredible thing for a girl so young to do. Her grandfather would be very proud of her for approaching Dreyfuss on his behalf...any bad blood that may have existed between Richard and Shaw on the set of Jaws has been ultimately flushed out.

Like Robert Shaw, Mr Dreyfuss is one of the greats. Always enjoy his work.

I love Jaws, and the three amigos who went out to hunt that "25 feet, 3 tons of em." I remember seeing Robert Shaw in The Deep and thought he was a great after and then in Jaws, he became one of my favorite actors. Dreyfuss and Schieder are great too I've seen several movies of theirs also, but Robert Shaw made a great character actor in all that he did. His granddaughter should be proud of him.

Amazing film, amazing guy. you just gotta love this man.

I cryed to just for watching... I love those 3 guys!! Richar, Robert and Roy

Shaw's riveting soliloquy in Jaws, "Mr. Hooper, that's the Indianapolis...sometimes they'd go away....sometimes they wouldn't go away....I'll never wear a life vest again"

God. That was the most terrifying scene of the film. I was so young, went with my cousins and we picked Jaws over Bambi (I'm not even joking). The sharks were terrifying dont get me wrong, but Shaw's monologue in that cabin holy mother of god, now that was terrifying.

Richard (Ricky) Dreyfuss is a class act on all levels!

What a great actor Richard is, from his early start in American graffiti, Who's life is it anyway, Mr Hollands Opus, Jaws, and so many others. Great diversity in his films, they were all different.

After the shark itself, Quint undoubtedly was the star and anti-hero of the film. People say it was his best role to date. He definitely died too early though as you get the feeling that his career would have sky-rocketed soon after Jaws. Pity we never got to see...

So enjoyed seeing Richard Dreyfuss in this story. I was just watching the movie Jaws for maybe the 10th time and decided to Google Robert Shaw and ended up at this touching video. Shaw's life was too short, but he was blessed with a big family and will be with us forever as Quint and all the other characters he created.

One of them rare great emotional moments on TV.

I've listened to Roy Schieder (sp) talk about the production of Jaws, and he's pretty clear it was a big pain in the butt. So it doesn't surprise me that Richard Dreyfuss gets weepy about the past, meeting Robert Shaw's little granddaughter. After all, the easy times are easily forgotten.

Sweet moment. Handled well by Tubs, in fairness. She's the spitting image of her grandfather too.

Beautiful moment. Thanks for sharing.

watching the little Shaw cutie tearing up, got me crying like Dreyfus! I loved Shaw and was stunned when he died. It felt a lot like when I heard at age 11 that Bruce Lee had died suddenly at 32. Not the actor Shaw was, of course, but a giant in his own right with so much promise - like Shaw (much of it realized I suppose, but 51 is young for a man to go suddenly).

I had to get a tissue for this one. Robert Shaw has to be my favourite actor of all time

When you talk about Shaw...... you say..... "what an actor!" To me, his characters are still alive and very real.... ya folla!

No shame in it at all. Jaws was THE defining work of Dreyfuss' career, and meeting Shaw's granddaughter must have been brought all those memories right back out. Kind of amusing though, because by all account Shaw and Dreyfuss could hardly stand each other on the set.

Richard is one of my fav actors..

Need to see more of Richard Dreyfuss!

my favofilm and mr. shaw.rite...actor..........this was truly moving after all ive read to see dreyfuss react like this made me cry been a fan of robert shaw since i was a boy im 46 now and still believe hes one the great underrated actors cheers rick dreyfuss for remaining a class act

Dreyfuss is the man!

Where's the rest of the interview?! Serrasongs, it wasn't that Richard didn't like Robert, it was more that Robert stayed in character in that he didn't want to get chummy with Richard & kept up the adversarial relationship off screen.

It's nice to see he had a change of heart, all I have EVER read or seen was that Robert Shaw gave Richard a hard time on set, and that they didn't get along. So, if it brings him closure, that's great.

I always thought Richard Dreyfuss was such a class act. I rate him right up there, with Tom Hanks as far as acting goes. I didn't even know that Robert Shaw had died, till I was watching the "Special Edition" Jaws dvd & I saw it, in the special features. Yet, another great talent taken away from us, way to damn soon. Go figure.

Wow… that is touching...

I LOVE RICHARD!!! FAVORITE IN " GOODBYE GIRL"

It was a bit different for me. Pop was a Seabee in the Philippines at that time & helped unload the bomb parts. Besides building the runways, etc. Some of the asides to his story spoke of sharks, beer, CO's, death & killing to survive. Quint will forever remind me of pop & those brave men & their "can do!" attitude.

he's making me want to cry too! :)

He "menaced" that role into well-deserved fame. Had everything down perfectly - the limp, the snarl, the brooding mood exploding into unbridled avarice. I haven't seen anyone like him since then, which tells you which wrong way the Hollywood herd went. Back then, the title of the movie was "The Sting." Today, it's "The Moo."

you see this?! this is why you should listen to your heart and never lock up your feelings. you will never get better if you wont let it out!

Class Act Dreyfuss

superb actor

Even if Shaw and Dreyfuss didn't get along on set, that was probably at least in part by design. Spielburg is infamous/famous for manipulating actors to get real reactions out of them, and Shaw and Dreyfuss were at much different places in their careers. But fuck, once Dreyfuss saw the finished product and what performances came out of it any lingering resentment (if any) had to have gone away instantly.

favourite actor of all time,best best best

I'll be damned she is a spitting image.

Dreyfuss, to his credit, exposed himself. He was quite intimated by Shaw. And to see his lovely, granddaughter, overwhelmed him. Her innocence and purity exposed his emotions. You and I would have done the same. However, Dreyfuss should not have been so cocky during the filming. Just my opinion.

Wonderful moment but from what I've seen in the 'Jaws' documentaries, Shaw and Dreyfuss did not get along at all.

I share the same birth day as Robert shaw :)

Wow

From what I have read and heard and yada yada yada, seems as though Mr. Shaw was pretty much "rough" with everyone he was around...although from what I read he was pretty respectful of Paul Newman and Robert Redford and many of the other cast mates of The Sting. I still enjoyed his work on camera.Cheers!

I would have had loved to be a fly on the wall when she watched Jaws for the first time and seen her grand-dad get chomped on by the shark, screaming and bleeding from the mouth. Hell, it gave me nightmares forever at 10 years old. I can't imagine if it was a relative of mine, acting or not! lol

@christiancowboy100

You are missing the reason. It has to do with male relationships. I just watched the documentary as well and it did not say they literally hated each other. It implied their was antagonism and that Shaw teased Dreyfuss to get a reaction out of him. Shaw was a bigger than life actor compared to the young Dreyfuss. Looking back on it I believe that as Dreyfuss matured he realized that Shaw had made him a better actor and person. And because he was never able to tell him that their was no closure after Shaw's early death until he met his grand daughter.

I thought things between dreyfuss and shaw were bad on the "jaws" movie set. I read that they didn't get along or something like that, and that shaw was often giving him a hard time. if that was the case, then why was dreyfuss so thrilled to meet his granddaughter?

Well, we've heard Shaw supposedly gave him shit a lot during Jaws but perhaps whatever he was complaining about at the time was actually true and that after all these years, Dreyfuss has come to respect him for that instead of being angry with him, sort of like a father that gives you shit but who you actually learn something from. I could easily see that. And like adtvx pointed out above me said, just closure to a long ride. I'm sure it's emotional for Dreyfuss that they parted on bad terms, Shaw died and then Jaws went on to have a life of it's own and become a huge ongoing blockbuster and it did actually make Dreyfuss' career and I've heard him say that. He said somewhere that he really wanted Jaws because he felt he had done a poor job of The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz.

They did go at each other a great deal. But the situation was also in part to blame. As we all know the set was maddening with all the delays, so it no doubt put a great deal of strain on everyone that might not have been there had the situation not been so intolerable. Plus they did respect one another as actors and there were bonding moments, sober and drunk, I'd heard that they shared as well. But the other important aspect of what may have happened is the sheer unconscious bonding that goes on when you make a film, or a play and are in such close quarters for so long. There can be an element of a family feeling, for lack of a better word. The film was stalled so badly by the shark not working that the actors would often improvise and work out stuff to do with Speilberg. This was a real arduous, hands-on, mess that many people thought was going to bomb! In fact prior to the release of the film, Dreyfuss came out and tried to disassociate himself from the film, not blaming Speilberg, but I think the studio brass. It was a hot mess. There were other circumstances too. I believe, Shaw's wife, the fine acttress Mary Ure, died while they were on location doing "Jaws". She died under very strange circumstances. And Shaw was devastated. No doubt they came together over that as well. And the fact that indeed this larger than life, amazingly talented man, Robert Shaw died so young obviously had a huge effect on Dreyfuss, especially at this stage of his life. A very touching moment for Dreyfuss and Shaw's young grand-daughter who does bear a resemblance for sure.
