Roy Schneider is gone!
Another Hollywood star has passed away. This time the Grim Reaper took the life of shark slayer Roy Schneider. He was 75. In 1971 Roy was nominated to Academy Awards for Best Actor in a Supporting Role for The French Connection directed by Gene Hackman and in 1979 he earned another Oscar nominee for All That Jazz.
I bet many of you recall Roy Schneider as the sheriff who killed the sharks in Jaws, Steven Spielberg’s movie from 1975.
For now the cause of death is unknown but the hospital spokesman stated that Schneider had been treated for multiple myeloma at the hospital’s Myeloma Institute for Research and Therapy for the past two years.
May he rest in peace!
