I’m not a racing fan, but had the privilege of
performing for the movie premiere of “LeMans”
in LeMans, France in 1971. I honestly did not
understand anything about the race. My job was
to smile and sing.
Steve McQueen went to Mexico for unorthodox
cancer treatment. He was a manly man. My
husband’s favorite movie is “The Great Escape”.
I knew him through work, when he was married to Ali McGraw. After they broke uo, he wanted to get serious about acting, and got an English screenwriter to adapt the Ibsen play, “Enemy of the People” for McQueen to play the lead. He grew a huge bushy beard, and kept it for a long time. His first unorthodox cancer treatment was with a doctor in Wa., William Kelly. I believe it was Kelly who then sent McQ to Mx for laetril (sp?) treatments which were outlawed by the FDA.
