GOSSIP:
  • Appears in the commercials for the 2005 Mustang. The ads draw on his appearance behind the wheel of a Mustang in the 1968 action movie BULLITT.
  • Sometimes Credited As: Steven McQueen
  • Nickname: Bandito, King Of Cool
  • Of the 2000 performers that auditioned for Lee Strasberg's exclusive Actors' Studio in 1955, only two were accepted: Martin Landau and McQueen.
  • Ranked #30 in Empire (UK) magazine's The Top 100 Movie Stars of All Time list. (October 1997)
  • A week before the Woodstock Music Festival kicked off in Bethel, New York, McQueen had been invited for dinner at the Roman Polanski-Sharon Tate home in the Hollywood hills by mutual friend and hairdresser-to the-stars, Jay Sebring. An unexpected rendezvous with a mystery woman prompted him to cancel his appointment. In the wake of the Manson Family Tate-LaBianca murders at, respectively, 10050 Cielo Drive and 3301 Waverly Drive, McQueen would later learn that he was accorded the kind of priority billing for which he was unprepared: he topped Charles Manson's celebrity death list. Thereafter he carried a concealed weapon. (8 August 1969)
  • Although he was the highest paid star of the 1960s Steve McQueen had a reputation for being tightfisted. On some films he would demand 10 electric razors, and dozens of pairs of jeans. It was later found out he gave this stuff to the Chino Reform School for boys, where he spent a few years himself.
  • Was expelled from the Carnegie Institute of Technology (now Carnegie Mellon University) for riding his motorcycle through the College of Fine Arts building.
  • Was issued a Private Pilots license by the FAA in 1979 after learning to fly in a STEARMAN BI-PLANE which he purchased for that purpose. After his death it was sold at auction with a large collection of vehicles by the estate in 1982.
  • Served in the United States Marine Corps.
  • Was diagnosed with a form of lung cancer, mesothelioma, which is related to asbestos exposure. Steve McQueen wore an asbestos-insulated racers suit in his race cars, and possibly was exposed to the harmful insulating material during his stint in the Marines.
  • Ashes scattered in the Pacific Ocean.
  • Chosen by Empire magazine as one of the 100 Sexiest Stars in film history (#19). (1995)

  • Dropped out of school in 9th grade.
