I received my two 10x8s and index card back from Susan Backlinie today. Susan is known to most as the first victim in Jaws but what a lot of people wont know is that she was an animal trainer and along with her boyfirend at the time was approached to help record some animal sounds. They individually recorded the sounds of a baby bear and a walrus and the 2 sounds were later mixed in the recording studio to become the roar of Chewbacca in Star Wars, Took 67 days to the US and back
