Lee Fierro, the actress best known for playing Mrs. Kintner in Steven Spielberg's 1975 'Jaws,' has died of complications from coronavirus. She was 91.
Fierro had moved from her home on Martha's Vineyard, where"Jaws" was filmed, and was living in an Ohio assisted living facility.
Kintner portrayed the grieving mother to young Alex Kintner , the second victim of the killer great white shark in"Jaws." Kintner memorably walked up to police chief Brody , removed her mourning veil, and slapped him across the face for failing to let the beach town know about a previous shark attack.
"You knew there was a shark out there, you knew it was dangerous, but you let people go swimming anyway." Mrs. Kintner said. "My boy is dead. I wanted you to know that."The theatrically trained actress was a longtime Martha's Vineyard resident, serving as artistic director and board president for the Island Theatre Workshop.
Galland told the newspaper how Fierro would discuss being scolded by the young director Spielberg for her dramatic exit from Edgartown Town Hall during the filming."Lee, you’re not on Broadway, tone it down. Tone it down," Fierro would say of Spielberg's instructions.
