Why not his big hit..."Thunder Road"?

McQueen was cool. So cool he probably wouldn't do that.

Steering wheel's on the wrong side. :)

Hey, look at that reflection in the rear fender... it's an early 'Vette.

Mitchum really hated McQueen for some reason. He was a seasoned vet when Steve came along as a journeyman actor, the next big thing, etc... It's funny 'cause you never, (or rarely), see big-name actors bad-mouthing each other nowadays.

One of his typical comments was, "That kid sure doesn't bring much brains to the party...":rolleyes:

FWIW, I could not disagree more. Steve McQueen was a mininalist, and an existentialist but what he did and the way he did it simply cannot be matched. A lot of actors wish it could. He was more like a jazz musician or a painter than he was like most actors.

Mitchum was good at what he did but he could not touch McQueen, IMO.

Can you tell that I'm a fan? :)

Bonus points if you know where that pic was taken, Paul.

It's on a studio backlot. Which one?

Lots of great photos of McQueen here:

If Chuck Norris and Steve McQueen are in the same room, you can't see Chuck Norris, since McQeen's coolness eclipses everything in the room.

That is all.

Oh Oh I know this one....can I play?SmileWavySmileWavy

Sure.

For some reason, the current crop (like Sean Penn and the like) just do not even come close...

Chuck Norris can kick McQueen's butt:D

Not a clue...

Couple weeks ago, someone took a pic from the exact same spot and posted it on a thread here in Pelican, can't find it.

But, no Jag, no Steve, no Corvette. Building is the same.

Oh sure steve is cool...

But did he ever bag a green chick?

Steve McQueen would never drive a Porsche or any car for that matter with pretty little flowers hanging from the rear view mirror.
