He was an actor that had such uniqueness about him that
it was inevitable that it was only a matter of time before Steve McQueen
was discovered. He was rugged, he was tough, and he had serious credentials.
His bad boy, sex appeal is what made him famous in his moody romances,
like "Love With the Proper Stranger" (1963), and "Baby
The Rain Must Fall" (1965). Other great films he starred in were
1963's "The Great Escape", "Bullitt" (1968), and
1968's "The Thomas Crown Affair".
"Once I asked him, 'Why do you ride those motorcycles
like that and maybe kill yourself?' and he said, 'So I won't forget
that I'm a man and not just an actor.' "-Bette Davis.
He was wild and unpredictable and his talent shined
through in every role he played. Whether or not it was his traditional
westerns or war movies, or his moody romances, he gave an amazing
performance, and you were still left guessing just what he was thinking
about when he was done speaking.
