Trivia
Several decades after the filming of Jaws (1975), Fierro walked into a seafood restaurant and noticed that the menu had an "Alex Kintner Sandwich". She commented that she had played his mother all those years ago. The owner of the restaurant ran out to meet her - none other than Jeffrey Voorhees, who had played Alex. They hadn't seen each other since the original movie shoot.

Quotes
[2012, on huge fans of Jaws (1975) asking for her to slap them] How many times have I been asked to slap somebody? I never counted. It happens a lot, and it is mostly young men. I do it to please the fans, but last year, I decided that is it. I have slapped my last slap.
