True Legends Never Die

Welcome to the world's only dedicated website to the Academy Award, BAFTA and Golden Globe nominated actor and award winning novelist and playwright Robert Shaw.

Born in Lancashire, England, father of ten children and a cinema icon, he was the most mesmerising actor to grace the screen. He will never be forgotten and neither will his films, books and plays.

Beset with childhood demons and a ferocious will to win, Shaw was taken from us way too early and we can only imagine what might have been.

I have painstakingly trawled the archives and amassed an amazing collection of rare photographs, screenshots, newspaper articles, movies, TV shows, interviews, posters, voiceovers, trailers, voice recordings, soundtracks and production information charting every aspect of his life and career.

It has indeed been a labour of love and is dedicated to Robert's children Colin, Ian, Hannah, Deborah, Penny, Rachel, Katherine, Thomas and Elizabeth.

This is an ongoing project so please feel free to get in touch with any new material that can be added.

Enjoy the site and keep coming back.

"I've never had such a loss, ever and I took that news and I drove over to Steven's house and I walked in and he was at the piano, playing. And he did not respond to me when I spoke to him, because he couldn't and at a certain point I realised he's not going to be answering in English. He's got something else going on, and he certainly did, he lost his Quint, way too soon!

None of us knew that we were going to feel so deeply, personally the loss of one of us. It didn't seem to make sense that he was taken from us so early."
