Googled last night on Jaws, one of the best movies ever. Found some interesting stuff.

- Originaly, Charlton Heston was considered for the role of Chief Brody

- Originaly, Lee Marvin was considered for the role of Quint. Then Robert Duvall.

-Richard Dreyfuss originally turned down the role of Hooper, and options were Jeff Bridges, Timothy Bottoms, Jon Voight and Jan-Michael Vincent

-Victoria Principal as Elen Brody

- The only original choice who actualy appeared in the movie: Murray Hamilton as the greedy Mayor of Amity.

Robert Shaw could not stand Richard Dreyfuss and they argued all the time, which resulted in some good tension between Hooper and Quint.

Makes you wonder. IMHO, Charlton Heston would ruined Brody. But Lee Marvin as Quint? Hmmm.....
