Jaws actress who played the first shark victim in the movie. The stuntwoman best known for her portrayal of Chrissie Watkins in 'Jaws,' died at her home in Ventura, California on Saturday.
Backlinie earned the role of Chrissie in Jaws not only for her enviable looks but also because she was a nationally ranked swimmer who had worked as a mermaid and animal trainer after graduating from high school in 1964.

Her husband of 30 years, Harvey Swindall, said death was "very unexpected." She died on Saturday morning from a heart attack.
