Peter Benchley
Peter Benchley was born in New York in 1940 and educated at Harvard. As a young man he worked as a journalist for the Washington Post and Newsweek, as well as a speechwriter for President Johnson. After several difficult years attempting to break through as a full-time writer, Benchley enjoyed enormous success on the publication of Jaws – a novel he had conceived a decade earlier – especially, of course, after the release of Steven Spielberg’s film version in 1975. Benchley’s other novels include The Deep and The Island, both of which have maritime settings and were turned into Hollywood films, though none of the later books was received with the acclaim and excitement of Jaws. In the 1990s, Benchley became an impassioned marine conservationist, seeking to communicate the true beauty and power of the sea, and to correct the record on the danger of shark attacks. He died in 2006 at his home in Princeton, New Jersey.
Wendy Benchley
Wendy Benchley was married to Peter Benchley from 1964 until his death. She is an environmentalist and marine conservationist who has won prizes including the International SeaKeepers Lifetime Achievement Award and a Pegasus Foundation Wings Award for her work to conserve ocean habitats. A former board member of the Environmental Defense Fund, Benchley has advocated green policy reform in many arenas, partly through her work in New Jersey politics. She is particularly known for her activism on sharks, and as a leading member of WildAid she works to reduce global demand for illegal wildlife products such as shark fins.
