I saw this over at CU.
Sad.
Richard Kiel, Jaws from Bond films, dies
9:20 p.m. EDT September 10, 2014
FRESNO, Calif. (AP) — Richard Kiel, the towering actor best known for portraying steel-toothed villain Jaws in a pair of James Bond films, has died. He was 74.
Kelley Sanchez, director of communications at St. Agnes Medical Center, confirmed Wednesday that Kiel was a patient at the hospital and died. She declined to provide further details.
The 7-foot-2-inch performer famously played the cable-chomping henchman who tussled with Roger Moore's Bond in The Spy Who Loved Me and Moonraker. His massive height was attributed to a hormonal condition called acromegaly.
