Jessica is a staff writer at Entertainment Weekly, where she covers TV, movies, and pop culture. Her work has appeared in Bustle, NYLON, Cosmopolitan, InStyle, and more. She lives in California with her dog.'s 1975 shark thriller, has challenged longstanding stories that the two clashed on set, saying they had a"very incredible relationship" and never had a feud.
The supposed tension between Dreyfuss, sometimes viewed as a neurotic and insecure actor at the start of his career, and the late Shaw, a renowned screen actor who struggled with alcoholism, serves as the central conflict behind, a comedic theatrical exploration of the behind-the-scenes drama during filming of the movie. The show was co-written by and stars Shaw's son Ian, who mined his father's diary to bring the story to the stage.
Though Dreyfuss and Shaw ribbed at each other from time to time, "We didn't take any of that seriously," Dreyfuss told. The only time things escalated was when Shaw hosed him down in retaliation for when he threw his glass of bourbon overboard. "That was the only day I lost my sense of humor," Dreyfuss said. "That was not a feud. A feud went on forever. We never had any bad feeling between us, ever.
Dreyfuss suspects that Spielberg and co-screenwriter Carl Gottlieb may have played a role in the tales of his relationship with Shaw. "I don't think they just gave it any thought that it would hurt me, and it did," Dreyfuss said. "I have to say that Carl and Steven knew better, knew that there was no feud. There was an ongoing kind of humor between us.
