Robert Shaw: The Man My Family Knew

Join us for a rare opportunity to hear author Christopher Shaw Meyers, nephew of actor Robert Shaw, as he shares stories from his book, Robert Shaw: An Actor’s Life on the Set of JAWS and Beyond.

Drawing on personal family insights and extensive research, Meyers offers a compelling look behind the scenes of Hollywood’s golden era, including the making of Jaws, while exploring the life of one of cinema’s most complex and captivating figures.

This talk was a sell-out last time and returns as part of Amity Homecoming Weekend. Don’t miss the chance to hear from a close family member and storyteller who brings Robert Shaw’s life vividly to the stage.
