Dean1700 4 Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 With the recent release of Jaws on Blu-Ray our excitement about this fantastic release has been tempered with the sad passing of Ron Taylor in Sydney on 9 Sep 2012 after a 2 year battle with leukemia. He was aged 78.RIP RonThank you for educating the world about sharks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean1700 4 Posted September 13, 2012 Author Share Posted September 13, 2012 Hmmmm, I guess no one really knows who Ron Taylor was then. Well, that was my mistake for thinking you people might actually be interested in knowing that he died. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeinAR 1,759 Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Ron Taylor, from Blue Water White Death, married to fellow diver Valerie Taylor also of Blue Water White Death.Together they filmed live Great White Sharks for the underwater sequence of Jaws.Because of a snafu during their filming and again a happy accident (Jaws had more happy accidents than most films), the script for Jaws was rewritten to allow Matt Hooper to survive instead of dying as original written for the book and planned for the film.
