    I actually, briefly, knew Steve, He lived in Santa Paula, Ca and occasionally hung around my my Fathers gas station with Von Dutch who lived right across the street in an old school bud. Steve was by nature a very quite person. He had a very unhappy childhood and could not fathom why he of all people on the planet Earth was chosen to be a highly paid movie actor. Consequently, he was "Enormously" charitable with charities for disadvantaged children. But he gets no credit for his charity because he was so quite about it.

    I had such a crush on him when was a teenager back in the 70's. He was not really conventionally handsome in the sense that someone like Paul Newman or Robert Redford were but there was something so attractive about him. He had a huge stage presence. I feel his best acting was in the movie Papillon. That movie never did reach the popularity of his other movies maybe because he was not in a very glamorous role such as bullet etc but imo his acting in that role was oscar worthy, same goes for Dustin Hoffman in his role in the movie.

    Other Things about Steve McQueen 1. As an actor he never liked to repeat himself. I have to believe the studio(s) wanted him to do sequels to Bullitt and Thomas Crown Affair but they never happened. The year 1968 may have been his greatest year in the movies with those 2 hits. At 38, he was at his absolute peak in the movies. 2. In *The Hunter* , McQueen played against type: He played a bounty hunter who was a terrible driver, unlike Steve of course in real life. McQueen deliberately had the writers put that in the script. 3. McQueen's friend, Don Gordon, appears alongside him in a number of his movies: Bullitt, Papillon, Towering Inferno.

    Skip to 1:25. You won't miss a thing. #4: He also turned down "Close Encounter of the Third Kind" even after Steven Spielberg personally asked him to star in it. #12: McQueen did not change his attitude until he was in the Marine Corp. He was sent there by a judge who gave him a choice of prison or the Marines.. And McQueen chose the Marines. #15: McQueen did NOT do the motorcycle stunt in The Great Escape. It was his stunt double Bud Ekins. And McQueen did not do "all the stunts in his movies".

    He did not jump the motorcycle in The Great Escape, that stunt was performed by a fella named Bud Ekins, he also did some of the car stunt driving and wrecked the motorcycle toward the end of the chase scene in Bullitt, he has a wig on so he looks like a hippie during that stunt, he was buddies with McQueen from racing motorcycles and he owned a Triumph dealership that McQueen bought bikes from, him McQueen and his brother formed a team and raced motorcycles in Europe during the filming of a movie over there and actually took a title that year, they were good racers and not just some Hollywood movie star toy project, McQueen got Ekins into the Hollywood stunt business because they were buddies, last I checked in about 2016 he was still alive and I think he even still had his motorcycle shop, for years McQueen and the studios let everyone think it was him that jumped the motorcycle in that movie but it was actually Bud Ekins.

    I was, and still am, a huge fan. He was the King of Cool. I was just a kid shopping in Boston with my mother when we were told he was around the corner filming The Thomas Crown Affair. My mother knew how excited I was as we left the store and went around the corner, but the filming was done and we missed him! I was very disappointed. BTW At the top of Mason's list was Terry Melcher, the son of Doris Day. He has previously owned that house. He was a record producer and had rejected Manson's music.

    Some of McQueen's films were actually not very good but have a higher status than perhaps deserved because of McQueen. _The Towering Inferno_ would be one. Also, Steve McQueen actually did not perform the jump over the barbed wire fence in _The Great Escape_ although he did perform in other riding scenes were he was actually not his character. He allegedly has a scene where he is a helmeted, goggle-wearing German motorcycle rider chasing the McQueen character.

Movie goers were over the moon with movies like Rocky, Jaws, Star wars and Empire Strikes Back so they had a good idea what movies should be like. In the end he made movies that no one wanted to see like the Enemy of the People, Tom Horn and The Hunter which all failed miserably at the box office. So much cool you can play in your mid 40s.

    Way back in 1965 when I was in the US Navy I read a novel titled "The Sand Pebbles". A few years later the book was made into a movie and Steve McQueen stared in it as a Machinist Mate aboard a river gunboat in China. I had served as an Electricians Mate and spent many hours in the engine room. I also spent some time on shore duty in the Philippines so the movie rang true to me and to this day it brings back memories of my years as a sailor. Much like Steve I lived a different life back then but again like Steve I had a life change when I came to know Jesus as my savior. Steve McQueen is not only my fictional hero but he is my real life hero for his witness of a changed life through Jesus. I never met him but some day in heaven I know I will. Here's a Bio on Steve's life and death:. www.patheos.com/blogs/youngfogey/2012/12/greater-grace-a-story-of-god-redemption-and-steve-mcqueen/ Here's a tribute video and song that goes along with it called “Old Soldier.”: kzread.info/dash/bejne/gXx2t9yOY9PMlbg.html

    The piece implies that McQueen did the jump in THE GREAT ESCAPE. He didn't! The producers thought it too dangerous and Bud Eakins, his longtime friend and motorcycle shop owner did it in his place. He and Bud (and I) lived in Nichols Canyon. Steve used to race his Cobra up the canyon to his home on Astral Dr. (Solar maybe). Legend has it that people complained about his fast driving so they stationed a cop car half way up the canyon to catch and ticket him but his skill as a race car driver was no match for the cops and he was home and in his garage long before any cop showed up.

    McQueen and Jim Morrison were unbelievably cool dudes........THE HUNTER was my favorite , cause parts in that movie showed the real life Steve McQueen. I also think the movie was his idea , I recall , he chose to make that movie , plus the real Ralph Thorsen had a couple minutes in the movie as the bar tender. Also the movie is like a time machine , in that it takes you back to 1980 and has the last year of GM's muscle car in it , the 1979 Pontiac Trans Am.

    He didn't do every stunt ( for example, he only drove c.10% of the famous Bullitt chase scene himself. And of course a stuntman did the famous jump at the end of the Great Escape. He was famously tight with money on movies. He had a business of leasing props to movie studios, and always tried to get his own props used in the movies he was in to get more money.

    The Rolling Stones' song 'Star, Star' from their "Goat's Head Soup" album (1973) has lyrics that read - "Yeah, Ali McGraw got mad with you For givin' head to Steve McQueen." Steve McQueen was pals with them and attended their concerts. He found this funny. John Wayne, who's also mentioned in the song, did not.

    He didn’t perform all his own stunts in his films. “McQueen was an avid motorcycle and race car enthusiast. When he had the opportunity to drive in a movie, he performed many of his own stunts, including some of the car chases in Bullitt and the motorcycle chase in The Great Escape. Although the jump over the fence in The Great Escape was done by Bud Ekins for insurance purposes.” Source: Wikipedia

    Be honest here and some of you people have a hard time admitting it. You can’t play cool into your 40s. His career fizzled real fast in the 70s McQueen made movies that no one wanted to see. The enemy of the people. Tom horn and the bounty hunter so he took up racing. He even tried to learn karate from Bruce Lee but it didn’t help his career. Guys like Eastwood Bronson and a rising Harrison Ford were beating him for roles. Anyone know the common denominator between those 3 guys. They could take off their shirts and display rippling muscles something McQueen could never do. McQueen aged really fast for a guy in his 40s. Sean Connery was also beating out McQueen.
