LITTLE ROCK, Arkansas (AP) -- Roy Scheider, the actor best known for his role as a police chief in the blockbuster movie "Jaws," has died. He was 75.

 

Scheider died Sunday at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences hospital in Little Rock, hospital spokesman David Robinson said. The hospital did not release his cause of death.

 

However, hospital spokeswoman Leslie Taylor said Scheider had been treated for multiple myeloma at the hospital's Myeloma Institute for Research and Therapy for the past two years.

I met Roy Scheider one time. Some friends and I had just torn up a dune on his property in Southhampton. He was a true gentleman given the circumstance. His dedication to the natrual ecology of the hamptons is legendary. He was a good actor too.

That's sad. I loved his performance in "All That Jazz". :(

 

Funny? No one mentioned his main role in Blue Thunder a great movie! It wasn't even mentioned in all the Press releases!

 

May you Rest in Peace Roy and extended sympathy to his family.
