Hi there. Thanks for linking to my article. I think it’s great that more people are discovering this story now, even though it’s in Terrill’s bio and other sources. I was especially happy to have found the Kraus interview someone else mentioned, as that’s pretty hard to find and not mentioned in most of the sources I used. I believe I found it through McQueen Online, a great site for fans to browse through.

Yep, he's a prince of a guy when he's not beating the crap Neile and Ali.

A classic film. So many great actors.
Edward G. Robinson was 72 years old when he appeared. It's interesting that Mr. Robinson was a last minute pick for the Lancy Howard part.
I watched it tonight and caught several scenes I'd missed in past years.
They don't make movies like this any more...

Thanks for sharing those stories. There was more to McQueen than so many Hollywood folk.

My wife dated him for a while... but that was before this stage in his life.

Sometime watch “Wanted Dead or Alive.” Solid values, honor, morality, in all of the stories. No wonder I fell in love with McQueen when I was a little girl. Had good judgment.

That is great to know (had just re-watched the epic, 'Papillion')...

What's almost as good is that even before he became a professed Christian, McQueen's Wanted Dead or Alive, was solidly, almost overtly, promoting Christian values of honesty, compassion, respect for life, humility, and even chastity! After watching WDOA, and then learning that McQueen did this at the end of his life, wasn't so surprising. He'd been living and promoting Christian values in his life. All the way down to giving alms in secret -- it wasn't until after he died, I think, that folks found out that all those Levis and razors and such that he insisted on getting for himself as extras for doing a film (like a celebrity insising on all red and yellow M&Ms in hotel room), went to Boys Republic, the reform school that helped McQueen as a young man.
Even Bulliit was about being gutsy, compassionate, honorable guy, not so much with regard to chastity (!!), but I watch that move several times a year and love it every time. It is a fabulous movie.

Wow — on Netflix, it’s on “wait,” you can’t just add it. Looks like a really good flick — will look for it!
