Peter Bradford Benchley was an American author, screenwriter, and ocean activist, born on May 8, 1940. He was famously known for his novel Jaws, which was made into a blockbuster movie in 1975. He had a successful career as a journalist before becoming a novelist. He went on to write several other books, including The Deep, The Beast, and White Shark, all of which received critical acclaim. Still, he could never recapture the literary success of Jaws, which sold millions of copies worldwide and transformed him into a household name. More about Peter Benchley

Even though Benchley wrote several novels, he will always be remembered as the author of Jaws. The novel became a cultural phenomenon, creating widespread panic and fear of sharks among people. When Steven Spielberg adapted the book into a movie, Benchley worked on the script with him and made a cameo appearance in the film. The success of the film made Benchley a celebrity overnight, and he became the face of shark conservation around the world. Before Jaws, most people had a fascination with sharks, but after the movie release, people started fearing them. The author would spend the rest of his life trying to undo the unintended damage that he had caused.In total, we tracked 79 items since 01/01/2008. The chart below shows the trade volume over time.
