After his death, he was cremated and his ashes scattered in Tuar Mhic Éadaigh. In 2008, the locals erected a monument in his memory. Robert Shaw was a leading Hollywood star, an Oscar-nominated actor who appeared in 56 movies. He was also an established author, the father of ten children and husband to three wives. He battled James Bond in From Russia With Love and a great white shark in Jaws. He won rave reviews for his performance as Henry VIII in A Man for All Seasons and was the memorable foil for Robert Redford and Paul Newman in The Sting. He was a man of words and letters and was fascinated by the Irish language. He insisted his children learn it and he enrolled them in the local school where they were taught all subjects through Irish. His son, Colin Shaw, remained in Tuar Mhic Éadaigh following his father’s death and became fluent in Irish.
