Question Diane,
This is the closest actor in the movie I could find on this website,as a reference to a question I have about the late Robert Shaw.
This question seems irrelivent and silly,but has stumped my co-quiz friends and myself!
Question: Through-out the filming of Jaws,Robert Shaw is seen snacking on some sort of crackers,
what were they,did he really enjoy them,or were they just part of the script?
I figure someone working with him on the set must know what they were,who can I contact??
We call-em "Quints Crackers".

Answer I don't know the brand.
I asume they were bought in Edgartown
where the movie was shot.
Maybe someone in MA could tell you the brand.
Apparently Robert Shaw got very seasick filming
on the water and munching on those crackers helped him combat that.
Have you ever seen the interviews with the
surviving cast on the 25th anniverary version
of the film. I think one of them talks about
the crackers.
