Jaws actress Lee Fierro has died from complications with coronavirus at the age of 91. The Hollywood star, who hailed from Martha’s Vineyard in Massachusetts, was living at an assisted care facility in Ohio when she died, Variety reports.
Fierro’s family are now said to be planning a small funeral service in Ohio bearing in mind the social distancing rules in place to prevent the spread of Covid-19.
A memorial service will take place in Martha’s Vineyard at a later date once the pandemic has settled. Fierro was best known for starring in Steven Spielberg’s 1975 shark epic Jaws, playing mother to Alex Kintner (played by Jeffrey Voorhees), the second victim of the killer great white shark.
