Iconic ‘Jaws' Movie Poster Has 1 Major Mistake
The poster from the 1975 movie Jaws is one of the most recognizable pieces of movie key art of all time—but it's not completely accurate. Fifty years ago, the blockbuster film about a great white shark terrorizing beachgoers was plugged with a drawing of a shark that was not a great white. In a video post to Instagram, New York's American Museum of Natural History curatorial associate of Ichthyology, Ryan Thoni, revealed that the huge fish on the poster bearing its sharp teeth as a woman swims above is actually a smaller and less deadly species. 'The toothy fish in question is actually based on a specimen housed here in the ichthyology collection of the American Museum of Natural History. And that specimen? Not a great white,' he said. 'It's actually a shortfin mako shark. And it's still housed in our collection today." Thoni then uncovered the museum's mako—with the famous Jaws poster clearly in the background— showing it to be a dead ringer for the movie shark. 'Back in the 1970s, the renowned artist Roger Kastel visited the museum seeking inspiration for a film poster he was working on-- Jaws,' Thoni explained. 'He took photos of the shark models, including this one made from a shortfin mako, which eventually became the key art for the now iconic movie poster.' Although fast, makos are much smaller than the great white portrayed in Jaws, and accounts of them trying to attack humans are very rare, per Florida Museum's International Shark Attack File. While doing his research, Kastel likely thought the less-fearsome mako was a great white, but he also admitted to taking some artistic liberties when first creating the drawing for the paperback version of the Peter Benchley book that inspired the movie. 'I did a very rough sketch, and [the publisher] said, 'That's great, just make the shark realistic and bigger. Make him very much bigger!'' Kastel once said, according to Deadline. Despite the discrepancy with the shark species, the poster was a success because Kastel's shark was indeed terrifying. Kastel's original 20x30-inch Jaws painting went missing after the movie came out, so it was likely stolen. In a 2014 interview with Collector's Weekly, he revealed, 'It was hanging at the Society of Illustrators in New York. It was framed because it was on a book tour, and then it went out to Hollywood for the movie. I expected it to come back, but it never did.'

Megalodon at the Museum: Massive shark teeth on display at Buena Vista Museum
BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KGET) — For decades, kids and adults alike have watched 'Shark Week,' the week-long feature on the fish that have commanded the oceans since time immemorial. But what you may not know is that the king of the sharks might've swam down Chester Avenue millions of years ago. It probably didn't follow traffic laws, of course. At that time, Bakersfield was completely submerged underwater, part of the grand Pacific Ocean. But as the megalodon shark died out and the oceans receded to their current resting places, the sharks that swam up and down the streets of Bakersfield left remnants all over, particularly the now world famous Sharktooth Hill — leaving teeth from the granddaddy of them all. 'It was floating around here in Bakersfield around 14 to 16 million years ago,' said Koral Hancharick, executive director of Buena Vista Museum. 'For every inch of tooth, we know there are 10 feet of shark, and that holds true today. So when you have a six-to-seven-inch tooth, you have a 60-to-75-foot shark … they made 'Jaws' kinda look like a guppy.' A shark so big, they could eat baby whales whole, and their teeth, now on display at the Buena Vista Museum in downtown Bakersfield. It almost makes you glad that they've been extinct for around two million years. 19th Street's transformation has Eastchester businesses excited But when the meg, or, as Shark Week called it some years ago, Sharkzilla, was featured on the show, it was right on Sharktooth Hill where they filmed their special on one of the largest apex predators to walk — sorry, swim — the Earth. 'That was a pretty cool thing that happened here in Bakersfield,' said Hancharick. 'I just think that megalodon has a great following due to the different movies that dramatized it.' Certain movies of course, teasing that maybe there's a massive man-eating megalodon hiding deep in the ocean's depths. Doubtful, says Hancharick. 'If you talk to most scientists, its food chain was all close to shore, so it definitely wouldn't be in the deep,' said Hancharick. Well, good news: you don't have to worry about your yacht trip being cut short by a massive shark attack. Nowadays, the modern great white shark has taken the title of 'King of the Ocean,' but they should be counting their lucky stars that the megalodon, the 'Lord of the Seas,' isn't still around to show who is really the boss. If you want to see teeth from the biggest shark to ever grace the planet, you can see them at the Buena Vista Museum at 2018 Chester Ave. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Billy Joel opens up about brain disorder diagnosis: ‘My balance sucks'
Billy Joel is offering fans a sense of reassurance after canceling his tour earlier this year due to a brain disorder diagnosis. In a candid interview with Bill Maher on the ' Club Random' podcast released Monday, July 21, the 76-year-old musician spoke openly for the first time about his health. 'My balance sucks,' he said. 'It's like being on a boat.' In May, Joel revealed he had been diagnosed with normal pressure hydrocephalus, a neurological disorder caused by excess cerebrospinal fluid in the brain. It's often misdiagnosed as dementia, can cause problems with gait, memory and bladder control. The condition is sometimes reversible, though recovery varies by case, according to the Cleveland Clinic. The Grammy-winning singer emphasized that while normal pressure hydrocephalus is not yet 'fixed,' it is 'being worked on.' His representatives previously stated that the disorder had been worsened by recent performances, leading to issues with vision, hearing and balance. As a result, Joel canceled 17 shows across North America and Europe, including an October date at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara with Stevie Nicks. 'They keep referring to what I have as a brain disorder, so it sounds a lot worse than what I'm feeling,' Joel told Maher, adding that he initially believed his symptoms stemmed from his past drinking habits. 'I feel fine.' Joel last performed in February at Mohegan Sun Arena in Connecticut, where he fell onstage but completed the concert. He had hoped to resume touring in July, but no return date has been confirmed. In the meantime, fans can catch a deeper look at the artist's life in the new HBO documentary ' Billy Joel: And So It Goes,' which debuted Friday, July 18. Part two airs Friday, July 25. The series is also available to stream on HBO Max.
