[@mduncan28]

I was about 4 years old when this show was done, and McQueen was talking about making The Sand Pebbles at this time, and my dad, a WWII vet loved that movie and told me it was very realistic to a lot of what he had to deal with on the ship in the Navy and overseas. I miss him every day, and I miss McQueen too. Great actor and one of my favorites.

[@isolde1802]

My 92 year old Dad was a Marine and served in Korea during the war. Steve McQueen was and is his favorite actor and The Sand Pebbles is his favorite movie. He watches that movie at least 3 or 4 times a year. I know the day is coming when he will be leaving this life and I will always cherish the memory of Steve McQueen and that movie because of him. Your father and my Dad are of the same breed of men that shall always be remembered. Steve McQueen was the best.

There are lots of comments referencing Steve McQueen's movie career, but his breakout role was on television. Starting in 1958 he starred in "Wanted: Dead or Alive" as bounty hunter Josh Randall. The series ran for 3 years and made him a nationally recognized celebrity.

Joe Postove Gables was a good actor and I'm not taking that away from him, but much of his fame was the old Hollywood studio propaganda which hyped many of the actors of that era. By earnings and number of "fans" due to the post war baby boomers, McQueen wins out hands down - McQueen was the first actor to be paid over $1 million a film and his estate upon his death was over $30 million which is over $70 million in today's money AND his name is still earning $7 million a year 35 years after his death.

... except for when the MG was in a hit Broadway play, or was starring in a television show (preferably on CBS) or was a popular singer (they never guessed Julie London in her multiple appearances), or a star sports figure or a famous political figure. Bennett had said that it was a fun job and relatively easy money (no lines to learn or rehearsals to attend). But doesn't mean there was no preparation for the show. Dorothy was up to date on the entertainment world because of her column and Arlene because of her radio program. Bennett kept abreast of things no doubt in part because celebrities often write (w/ or w/o a ghost writer) books that sell, but also because he was competitive. Also he (and Martin when he was on as well as some of the other male panelists) were expected to provide sports expertise for the panel. It has also been revealed in interviews that the panelists would warm up before the show. Part of that was for one of them to think of an occupation and the others would try to guess it. The other part was that they would discuss who was likely to be the MG that evening. On a couple of occasions, I have heard Bennett or Arlene say, "Shall we say it all at once?"

Mr. Koester seemed like a very kind person, especially giving his winnings on the show to the kids back in his home state, and giving those ivory bracelets to the two women panelists. I've only seen one of Steve McQueen's acting performances, and I believe it was Alfred Hitchcock's version of "Man from the South" by Roald Dahl. Such a good man and good actor.

Personal Favourite Role of Mr Steve McQueen's of Mine: the Honeymoon Machine. Love his Timing and Delivery in this (underrated imo) Comedic Caper.

[@kicknchickn1758]

A great movie he made that doesn't get much mention was "The Getaway" with Ali McGraw.

[@RCGoetzke]

+Marc C One of Sam Peckinpah's best, even Ali McGraw's wretched acting couldn't ruin it.

[@jessefincher]

Marc C I agree. My momma took us to the theater to see this when I was a young boy. She loved Steve McQueen. And Burt Reynolds.

[@waynej2608]

@@RCGoetzke I thought Ali was real good in it. She and McQueen definitely had chemistry.

[@RCGoetzke]

@@waynej2608 They sure did off the set. He was banging her soon after filming began, although she was married to producer, Robert Evans, and they had a one-year old son, Joshua Evans, at the time.

[@waynej2608]

@@RCGoetzke That's showbiz.

[@VahanNisanian]

Thank you Gary, once again. Until now, only the clip of McQueen was up, in REALLY muffled audio quality, at least on YT.

[@WhatsMyLine]

***** It really depends on the source material. So much of game show history is preserved only because of individuals who made recordings on early home video equipment. We're just lucky that WML was mostly preserved, and eventually rerun so extensively for over a decade on GSN!

This show is great! Crazy- movies were in color but TV was black and white. My family went to an opening of Sand Pebbles.

[@luissantiago8446]

At that time certain shows were in color. Batman for instance.

[@folsominc2]

Steve McQueen did the best imitation of Walter Brennan I've ever heard. It's also wonderful to know that Steve McQueen accepted Christ as a savior before he died so we'll see him in heaven. 🤗

[@alanhumphrey4198]

Praise the Lord!!

[@Yowza78]

Good luck with that!

[@patriciafootejohnson2817]

@@Yowza78 hope you and others turn to God as Steve McQueen did before he died because we all have little time left in this life. I look forward to seeing Steve McQueen and all my favorite stars, family and friends in heaven.

Mr. Cool. Got to see him and Ali McGraw filming in El Paso, TX.( The Getaway) My hero man, my hero. And Ali, not too bad.

[@Brandosway]

yellowdeer 7 Steve ended up divorcing his wife, and marry Ali after that film.

[@waynej2608]

Cool. I really enjoyed The Getaway, both were excellent in it. Also, the great Ben Johnson and Al Letieri. I think it's an undervalued film, from Sam Peckinpaugh.

Arlene is just the loveliest lady !!

[@djdon60]

Steve Mc.Queen sounded(much!)like a "Real Mc.Coy." Oh, and, with me being a car-chase fanatic...he is a favourite. I'm now, going back, to August, to see his television co-star.

[@jaywolf4183]

What a great guy Steve McQueen was, and the best actor of all times.

[@debbiemartin2026]

This was a good one bc they had time to talk to contestants.

[@georgevincent1834]

McQueen was the definition of "Cool."

[@lizallen1957]

I thought Bullitt was one of his best acting movies as well as the other ones mentioned recently

[@luissantiago8446]

Bullitt has aged well. The cinematography, and even the clothing worn by McQueen look as fresh now as when the picture came out decades ago.

[@jacquelinem3551]

Oh my heart, Steve McQueen amazing man. I was just 5 years old when this was broadcast. 😊❤

[@jacquelinebell6201]

I love Steve McQueen! So handsome. Those beautiful blue eyes. I loved The Great Escape and more recently The Towering Inferno.

[@mtnman6557]

If you're a Steve McQueen fan & haven't read the 1972 book about him called "Star On Wheels," by William Nolan, it's a very interesting read. It's mostly about his racing, but there's also an unexpected story about a can of beans & a campfire that's pretty funny. *it's out of print, but you can still find used copies of it on eBay & Amazon

[@roberttelarket4934]

Steve McQueen’s signature is beautiful! Who would have guessed?!

[@davidrbecken]

Lol, I guessed the first one's occupation the minute she said she was from Cairo.

[@franktheo2055]

Steve McQueen couldn't fool the panel ! When I was a teen during the 1970's I had a friend who always said he wanted to drive like Steve McQueen ! Fast Cars & Movie Stars & 100 moving violations later, LOL !

[@BeRosie1]

I've always loved Steve McQueen

[@Beson-SE]

Helen Gurley Brown was an excellent panelist. Pity they didn't use her more on the show.

[@amalHope3]

Steve is the most handsome, and charismatic actor of all time. RIP steve❤❤🌹🌹

[@howrrmr.7172]

I Like the way he talks with face muscles that support his messages in words.

[@VahanNisanian]

Steve McQueen. One of the original no nonsense, anti-hero tough guys of Hollywood. His film resume is nothing short of impressive, including "The Blob", "The Magnificent Seven", "The Great Escape", "Love With the Proper Stranger", "The Cincinnati Kid", "The Sand Pebbles", "Junior Bonner", "Bullit", "The Thomas Crown Affair", "The Towering Inferno", and even his series "Wanted: Dead or Alive".

[@VahanNisanian]

***** He did.

[@Beson-SE]

***** Yes, with Dustin Hoffman.

[@repentobeyjesus9187]

Don't forget "Baby the Rain Must Fall" , co starring with Lee Remick,, A very under rated movie. He was wonderful as usual.

[@glock30ful]

Steve was the greatest actor ever on the big screen !!!-----

[@mikejschin]

And in "The Blob" his leading lady was Anita Corsaut, who later became well known as Helen Crump on the Andy Griffith Show.

[@annakaminski4406]

Hot damn, Steve McQueen. He sure sounded like Walter Brennan.

[@augerontgen8240]

This was real good and intelligent entertaining, not as today. Lacking current sophisticated shows I really watch this instead. By the way, charming Arlene Francis wears wonderful glasses ...

Me too!
