A display of autographs by key cast and crew members of Steven Spielberg's Jaws. Among the most acclaimed films in the history of cinema, Jaws received four Academy Award® nominations upon release, including Best Picture, and is widely credited as the first-ever summer blockbuster. Both a family drama informed by Spielberg's own personal life and a suspense thriller par excellence, its central character forever changed humanity's relationship to Great White sharks.

This display features a color-printed glossy poster autographed by screenwriter Carl Gottlieb and dated "6/16," and actor Susan Backlinie, who portrayed Chrissie - the shark's first victim - in the unforgettable opening sequence; a color-printed photograph believed to be of Spielberg's neck autographed by the director; autographs of Roy Scheider, Richard Dreyfuss, and Robert Shaw; and a color-printed still of the stars as Sheriff Brody, Matt Hooper, and Quint. The poster, photos, and autographs come backed with posterboard, which exhibits bending and creasing. Dimensions: 20" x 19" (51 cm x 48.25 cm)

Additional Provenance: Todd Mueller Autographs Letters of Authenticity authenticating Spielberg's, Dreyfuss', and Shaw's autographs; Beckett Authentication Services sticker and Certificate of Authenticity authenticating Backlinie's and Gottlieb's autographs; James Spence Authentication (JSA) Certificate of Authenticity authenticating Scheider's autograph.

Estimate: $3,000 - 6,000
