Backlinie’s convention agent, Matthew Templeton, confirmed the sad news, stating: “It is with deep regret that we confirm that our dear Susan passed away this morning.” He also expressed gratitude for the many condolence messages and requested privacy for the family during this difficult time.

Backlinie’s path to stardom began at the age of 28, when her exceptional swimming skills and professional diving experience caught Spielberg’s attention. Before her big break, she had worked with animals and enjoyed aquatic activities, including working as a mermaid at the Weeki Wachee Springs tourist attraction in Florida and interacting with wild animals such as tigers and bears.

Armed with her unique abilities, Backlinie approached Spielberg, knowing that her exceptional skills would add authenticity to the film. She proposed the idea: “If you hire me, you could get close-up shots of the stuntwoman herself. If you hire an actress, she would have to cover her face.” Spielberg recognized her potential and wrote in Laurent Bouzerau’s book *Spielberg: The First Ten Years*: “I went looking for the perfect stuntwoman, and Susan was up to the task.”

Backlinie discussed her experience working with Spielberg in a 2017 interview, revealing the director’s instructions before they filmed the infamous scene. “The first thing he told me was: ‘When your scene is done, I want everyone to be under their seats with popcorn and chewing gum,'” she recalled. Backlinie’s portrayal of Chrissie Watkins left a lasting impression on audiences worldwide, making *Jaws* one of the most enduring and terrifying films of all time.

Susan Backlinie will always hold a special place in cinematic history as the woman who bravely brought *Jaws* to life. Her talents and contributions to the film industry will be cherished by fans and movie enthusiasts around the world. Rest in peace, Susan.
