JAWS Producer

[Sean]

David Brown, a producer of theater and film (including JAWS) has passed at age 93.

RIP, Mr. Brown.

Thank You for producing my favorite film EVER!

He was incredibly well spoken and just so much fun to watch on the "Making Of JAWS" disc.

An intergral part to the original JAWS machine....he will be missed.

JAWS was a groundbreaker--I'll never forget how people in the theatre actually jumped and screamed!  I'm sure Mr. Brown grinned big when he heard about that going on all over the world!  He also produced one of my guilty pleasures, the Strother Martin (as a very mad doctor!) film, Sssssss! 

It was a good long life, sir, and job well done!

You mean Sssssss, the Dirk Benedict film?  Fantastically horrid (and I mean that in a GOOD way).

Sssssss!  Yes, indeed--Dirk Benedict goes through some changes in this film in '73.  Probably should mention, too, that Brown produced the sci-fi film COCCOON, in '85.  His ties to our genre are secure ones!
