"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."

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.
