Could anybody please tell me where Susan is in this? How does she parody her Jaws scene?

She appears in the opening of the film. She is a Polar Bears member, who disrobes at the beach early in the morning and goes out into the middle of the ocean, naked, for a swim. As she does the backstroke, the opening of the "Jaws" theme is heard and she begins to get tugged into the ocean, much like she did in "Jaws", only a shark does not eat her - she winds up grasping her body onto a submarine periscope. It's a great hats off to "Jaws", as the entire movie is chock full of other classic bits such as that. I advise to go rent it immediately!

Where do you have this info from?
Uh, from my own faulty brain!
In other words: I was mistaken, sorry. Just a coupla days ago, I watched the "Making Of" DVD (for the 4th or 5th time), and when Spielberg says "I wanted to cast Susan Backlinie", I must've mentally added the "but she was unavailable" myself, for whatever reason.
Anyway, carry on
