**I liked her in the Sand Pebbles—sweet and innocent.**
Beautiful-19 years old. Steve McQueen was inn’s mid 30’s.

**Never heard of the movie “The Sand Pebbles”, looked it up and the movie had 8 Oscar nominations.**
Memorable. You must be young. The book is 600 pages.

“The Sand Pebbles” is my all-time favorite movie. Steve McQueen and his BAR from this movie (along with Kirby and his BAR from “Combat”) led me to volunteer to carry the M60 machinegun during my two years in the mech infantry.
