On 09/18/2019 as a Lyft driver I had the pleasure of meeting a nice, handsome fella. He asked if he could ride on the front seat, said he was on his way to pick up his dog pet at a veterinarian clinic in Santa Monica Ca. I couldn't help noticing familiar face features so I asked if he was an actor, yes! he replied. Steven McQueen was his name, the grandson of the GREAT Steve McQueen!!! He produced an Id card. He didn't have to, the resemblance is amazing. Later at home I told my family, then I Google him and sure enough that was the same nice handsome fella I met earlier!! Just felt like sharing this fine encounter I had. Thanks

It really hit me hard because as a kid I thought he was unstoppable but it started me in Martial Arts the next year which was a positive thing in my young life but thank goodness Chuck Norris was up and coming by 78 because they tried replacing Bruce with fake Bruce's which started to soure the US towards martial Arts movies Man what a bad time for martial arts movies.

If Jerry Skinner did a thorough research, he deliberately omitted the most important period of McQueen’s life. Pity! Steve committed his life to Christ prior to his diagnosis and finally found peace and received healing of the gross neglect and lack of love throughout his childhood. He looked forward to life after death. Steve said: “My only regret in life is that I was not able to tell people about what Christ did for me.” and so Greg Laurie, pastor and long-time fan wrote a book in his honour, “Steve McQueen. The Salvation of an American Icon”. He also made a documentary film about his conversion

I saw steve mcqeen on the set of "The Hunter" . I was hired by the casting company as an extra for the filming. When I saw Steve up close for the first time , he was walking past meto get some lunch. So as much as I wanted to ask for an autograph I just looked and smiled at him . Well , I was surprised to see he gave me the biggest smile right back ! I saw the most beautiful aqua blue eyes I had ever seen . I had heard he was dying of cancer and that he was drinking lots of fruit juices to see if it would help overcome cancer . I was at marina towers when the film company dropped a car into the river . Later the next day , we filmed a car scene . Unfortunately my only job was to walk across the street after the racing scene was shot . So I still have a pay stub from my work on this film . It was wonderful and exciting being on the set and a memorable experience, I will never forget. I was lucky enough to See his gorgeous face before he left this world. A GREAT ACTOR !

I knew Steve, briefly, as he lived in Santa Paula, Ca and hung out with a friend, Von Dutch, at my fathers gas station on the other side of town. What no one says about Steve was that he was ENORMOUSLY GENEROUS $$$ with his money, especially charities for disadvantaged children. He gets no credit for it because he gave his money away very quietly, not like celebrities now days who have their agent take a picture of them handing a check to a crippled veteran. FYI, the asbestos causing his mesothelioma was likely caused by a brief but intense exposure he received to asbestos while in the Marine Corp on a work duty gutting the inside of an old WWII Liberty Ship. To finish a thought, I do not know for a fact that he left that $200,000 to Boys Camp, but from what I know he was certainly capable of gifting it to them, AND having also given away a whole lot more over the course of his life, all very quietly of course. That was Steve for you, the "King of (quite) Cool".

Paul Harvey used to say, "And now for the rest of the story." He knew that what happens after famous episodes, or behind the scenes during them, offer fascinating perspectives. So often we don't get to know how lives played out for these famous people. So, Mr. Skinner, I applaud your efforts. In the case of Mr. McQueen I had always heard a rather disparaging story of Mr. McQueen going to Mexico for unapproved treatments. Yet, Mr. Skinner reveals that the behavior was quite understandable given Mr. McQueen's options. While famous people are often isolated as icons, they are human beings - often struggling with the same kinds of problems that affect the rest of us. Thanks again Jerry.

Almost made me cry, 'cause I was building that Mustang in homage to his Bullet version, right down to the same color. I know his had a 428, but I figured the Boss 302 made up for some of C.I. difference. Very fun car that would pull 12 second quarters all day long. The M22 w/ the Hurst shifter was so much quicker than the original T-10 Ford mated the Boss to.

The owner, Always wearing a Stetson and matching boots with the pants cuffs tucked in, not being interested in current Hollywood, said who the h--- is Steve McQueen? After the kids explained and the private tour had been completed, Steve bought some toys, he, his wife, his stuntman and the owner sat and talked for another hour or so about the coming trip to Mexico. The owner proudly told everyone from that day forward, that he knew Steve McQueen. The owner of the museum, was my father.

In the mid 1980's, my wife and I used to stop in the barn /museum to shop around for antiques. We had the opportunity to meet your father. He was very nice to us - we were only 18 at the time. It was a really neat place. So sorry that it closed

I was a British soldier based in Hong Kong. In 1966 I met Steve McQueen in an Aussie Pub in Kowloon called the Waltsing Matilda. He was playing cards with some of the crew of The Sand Pebble move. I was invited to join them, not that I played cards. He being a veteran just wanted to give a little time to a young soldier. We had a couple of beers and I headed back to Gun Club Barracks.

This was soooooo good! Thanks soooooo much! Just saw BABY THE RAIN MUST Fall last night.... So I was wondering about him. He had such a sadness about his face. It's all I could focus on in the movie. Thanks again. GREAT JOB,

I didn't know that he died so young, tragic, very informative documentary. He was one of my favorite actors, and he is missed.

He is one of my all-time favs. He was taken much too soon. Loved the original Magnificent 7 & that great cast.

Bullet was a fine movie as well. Seemed most of his family members died at a young age. R.I.P. Steve McQueen, you are home now.

Of all of the sad stories I've seen on famous Actors, this has to be up at the top of the list. Bless his heart. I hope he finally found the love and acceptance he so desperately sought out while here on earth. Rest in peace Mr. Queen, we loved you from afar and still do. And you are not forgotten.
