Cheer up, they might find Jimmy Hoffa or Judge Crater.

McQueen had an unusual reputation for demanding free items in bulk from studios when agreeing to do a film, such as electric razors, jeans and several other products. It was later found out that McQueen requested these things because he was donating them to the Boy's Republic reformatory school for displaced youth, where McQueen had spent time during his youth. +++++ 'Towards the end of his life McQueen became a Christian in part to the influence of his flying instructor, Sammy Mason, and his wife, Barbara Minty. He regularly attended his local church, and was visited by the famed evangelist Billy Graham shortly before he died. +++++ 'McQueen learned the martial art Tang Soo Do from ninth degree blackbelt Pat E. Johnson. McQueen served as one of the pall bearers at Bruce Lee's funeral in 1973.+++++ 'McQueen was quite conservative in his political views, and often backed the Republican Party. He supported the Vietnam War, was one of the few Hollywood stars who refused numerous requests to back Presidential hopeful Robert Kennedy in 1968, and turned down the chance to participate in the 1963 March on Washington.' ============================================================ Image and video hosting by TinyPic

I heard one of screenwriters for The Blob on the radio a couple of years ago. I think she was pushing 90, and was the oldest teacher in NH at the time, as a professor at Keene.

She was in four Charlie Chan films.

A actress with detective experience that knows how to handle unknown blobs...
