Thanks for letting us know. I was a huge fan of Steve McQueen and as a child bought every movie magazine which featured him on the cover. I was terribly saddened at his pre-mature death. Since those days, I’ve met several actors who worked with him in the 50s as well as the 70s. All felt that drugs (and cigarettes) played a huge role in his behavior and in his health decline. He was an icon and will always be the King of Kool for me.
His wife, Ali McGraw, said he was the most patriotic person she ever knew.
Wow. Never knew this.
God reels in some of the most unlikely people. The makeup of heaven is going to be quite surprising. But then again since God is Lord of everything we shouldn’t be surprised. Every knee shall bow one day.
Believe he loaded asbestos onto the gunboats and that is how he came into contact with the stuff in it’s pure form. Plus the fireproof safety gear he wore as a race car driver was partly made of asbestos as well. This is a point of interest to me concerning McQueen’s life because my grandfather died in 1984 of the same type of asbestos related cancer (Grandpa was exposed to it working in petroleum refineries during the 1920s and 30s and building houses in the 1940s and 50s).
We have tickets to see this Thursday night.
Got tickets for the movie this Thursday night.
