"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


 

"A pleasure to remember: actor, writer, man."

 

Carl Gottlieb in a message to me on Facebook August 9, 2009

 

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."
