football_fan 42 Posted July 22, 2005 Actor Roy Scheider, best known as the rugged police chief in "Jaws", was nominated for an oscar in "The French Connection", and starred in "The Rainmaker", is suffering from multiple myeloma. He recently underwent a bone-marrow transplant, but the disease is incurable and he has been battling it for several months. He is definitely one to keep an eye on.

VSBfromH 74 Posted July 22, 2005 Don't forget "All That Jazz" Bob Fosse's semi-autobiographical classic in which Scheider plays a dying choreographer looking back on his life's excesses - an absolute tour de force of a performance. The dance scenes in the operating theatre are mind-blowing! Keep battling, Roy! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The dance scenes in the operating theatre are mind-blowing! Keep battling, Roy! Absolutely wonderful film. Terrific, mind challenging entertainment, great music and dancing, an insight into the backstage of broadway, and Jessica Lange's breasts. /sings "Who could ask for anything more..."
