Steve McQueen would be a BIG problem in Hollywood, were he still alive.

He was conservative politically and in action.

On movie sets would ask for "extra" t-shirts that he would send to troubled boys in juvie halls.

Same age as Eastwood, and with similar backgrounds.

He was always one of my favorite actors.

Apparently during the filming of The Towering Inferno, there was some dispute with Paul Newman over who would get top billing.

So to compromise, their names would appear in the credits at the same time but one would be higher and the other would be at the bottom.

But at an angle.

IIRC, McQueen got the top, and Newman got the bottom corner.

It’s coincidental that TCM is featuring him tomorrow, in that my wife and I have “Bullitt” out from Netflix just now. First 1/3 is good. Didn’t make it further than that with the babies’ schedule.

To add to the confusion, Newman served in WWII, but became a pinko leftist.

McQueen never compromised.

But they BOTH did a LOT for charity.
