R.I.P. Roy Scheider
By Ann Magnuson
Roy Scheider has died. Long live Joe Gideon! Mr. Scheider fought killer sharks, French heroin dealers and the U.S. military intervention in Iraq. But it was his turn as Bob Fosse's alter-ego, speed freak choreographer Joe Gideon in the 1979 classic All That Jazz that I will remember him best. Hopefully this wonderful classically-trained actor will be met in Show Biz heaven by long-legged angels in vein-painted spandex unitards!
