"They never print how nice he is."

 

          Mary Ure, New York Times Interview 1968

 

"If you had Robert as a true friend you couldn't ask for anyone better.  Robert had a reputation as a womanizer, but a lot of it was myth.  He was an incredible man, even a shy little boy on occasions.  But he was a man who would go that extra mile and even lay down his own life for a friend.  I would like the world to know that. "

 

           Virginia Jansen (Robert Shaw's widow) in an interview 1979

 

"I have always been extremely proud to be his son.  He was a great man, a loving father, a generous, wonderful spirit, very funny, often outrageous, and a fabulous actor.  His family was completely devastated to lose him.   Whatever you may hear in the press, those that actually knew him, loved him dearly."

 

                            Ian Shaw in an e-mail addressed to me, June 2007


 

Welcome to Robert Shaw for All Seasons.  Whether you are a fan of the late actor/author or would just like to comment about a few of his movies that you particularly enjoyed, please feel free to leave a message here.  I have spent some time collecting information about him on the internet and if there is anything you wish to contribute, please let me know as it is not easy to find much about him these days, except in his role as Quint in JAWS.  Thank you and I hope you enjoy my tribute to one of the greatest actors of all time.

 

 


"I don't know why but I do wish to be remembered."

Thank you for visiting my website.  I hope you return for the frequent updates.

 

This website is factual and does not contain any information that is gossip or speculation.  If that is what you are seeking, may I suggest you reference The National Enquirer Archives.  If you are a fan of Quint, I can recommend some excellent JAWS websites as Shaw was not Quint or any other character he portrayed.  This is a website about an exceptionally gifted actor/author and a man who was a man.  A man for all seasons.

 

Created for the fans, by the fans.
