LORRAINE GARY

She might be retired today, but Lorraine’s legacy as an actress will not be easily forgotten. Her appearances on 3 Jaws films helps ensure this fact. Fans will remember her best for playing Ellen Brody, but outside of the shark-flick, she has also appeared in both Car Wash and 1941. After Gary played the role of Joan Douglas in the film 1941, she decided to retire in 1979. However, she made a comeback to reprise the role of Ellen Brody in the classic film Jaws: The Revenge in 1987.

Lorraine also makes use of her platform to advocate for the causes she believes in. She has investments in the Human Rights Watch Women’s Rights Advisory Committee, directing and producing a series of education videos for the group. For her work, both Lorraine and her husband were honored with the Simon Wiesenthal Center’s Humanitarian Award. As follows, the sons of Brody, namely Jonathan Sheinberg and  Bill Sheinberg are also film producers.
