he was a breed apart00:00:11
a street kid who made it men were his00:00:15
natural rivals00:00:17
women a tantalizing challenge00:00:20
but with kids he could be himself00:00:23
he lived life on the edge00:00:27
he was a loner defiant and unpredictable00:00:34
but his screen magic that you could00:00:36
depend on00:00:38
and it made him one of the most popular00:00:39
stars of his day00:00:42
his name was steve mcqueen00:00:46
[Music]00:00:57
there was a kind of violence in him00:01:00
and i think this is one of the things00:01:02
that made him interesting and exciting00:01:04
he was a star a movie star but i could00:01:07
see a great insecurity00:01:09
in him um00:01:12
which sometimes makes people as you know00:01:16
come on strong00:01:17
to demonstrate strength i think you must00:01:19
have a certain00:01:20
vulnerable quality to you at the same00:01:22
time it was that00:01:24
that underpinning that made what he did00:01:28
so effective because there was a there00:01:30
was a a gentle and real00:01:32
core of sensitivity to the man00:01:35
there was a little boy always00:01:39
in whatever00:01:40
[Music]00:02:05

a place for kids with problems he ran00:02:32
away00:02:34
and was returned every time00:02:37
when he finally grasped that a chino00:02:38
they wanted to help00:02:40
he stayed to finish the ninth grade he00:02:43
was 16 when he hit the road00:02:47
by the time steve joined the marines he00:02:49
had spent a year wandering the country00:02:51
he'd shipped out on a freighter labored00:02:53
in a texas oil field00:02:55

trying to soup it up00:03:13
steve was having a ball in 195000:03:19
at 20 steve turned up in new york city00:03:24
he rented a cold water flat in greenwich00:03:25
village00:03:27
in this town everyone had an angle it00:03:30
was only a matter of time until steve00:03:32
found his00:03:34
someone suggested acting and he liked00:03:37
the idea00:03:39
because he felt that was a good place to00:03:40
meet girls but once he got into it00:03:43
he got into it like like anything else00:03:45
he he had the need to be the best and he00:03:48
worked very hard at being the best00:03:52
he said he's glossy around auditioned00:03:54
and studied00:03:55
eventually at the actor's studio with00:03:57
lee strosberg00:03:58
he got parts in summerstock and in 195600:04:02
he tried out for a feature somebody up00:04:04
there likes me00:04:05
[Music]00:04:07
he came in and a sport jacket kind of00:04:10
gangly and loose and he had a little00:04:11
remember he had a little cap little00:04:13
cap a little bit right on top of his00:04:14
head i guess it was his00:04:17
cocky manner somehow not fresh but just00:04:19
nice and cocky and00:04:20
a bit full of himself that caught my eye00:04:22
and i i cast him in this small part it00:04:24
was a part of a00:04:26
some kids on a rooftop fight back in new00:04:27
york00:04:29
[Music]00:04:33
a very almost unrecognizable park but00:04:36
that was his first film00:04:38
paul newman was the star but steve vowed00:04:41
someday he would catch up00:04:43
and steve was never known to quit a race00:04:47
steve was very good in the little part i00:04:49
had for him it was really00:04:50
just a very tiny bit part as we call it00:04:52
out here and although he was very good00:04:54
and had a quality about him i00:04:56
very honestly can't say that i saw that00:04:59
this was going to be a tremendous big00:05:01
talent00:05:02
what do you say fidel rocky00:05:06
come on hey would you get out huh i was00:05:09
doing a play in 195600:05:12
a hatful of rain on broadway and uh00:05:15
steve was hired to understudy ben gazer00:05:17
i believe00:05:18
and he was supposed to watch the show00:05:20
and he would make funny faces00:05:22
he would be cross-eyed or and he would00:05:25
break us up00:05:26
i thought it was just sort of a lark00:05:28
that he must have been a rich kid it was00:05:29
just fooling around00:05:31
i was just coming out of dan's class and00:05:34
i had gone down the street00:05:36
and this man he was cute as could be00:05:40
came right to me and stepped right in my00:05:41
path and he said00:05:43
hi you're pretty and i said00:05:47
well you're pretty too00:05:50
it was 1956 and the girl who caught00:05:53
steve's eye00:05:54
was neil adams she'd already ignited00:05:57
broadway and kismet00:05:59
now she was appearing in the pajama game00:06:02
we went out to the village and we00:06:05
started talking and talking and talking00:06:07
and out of this marathon conversation00:06:12
we found out that we had so many00:06:14
similarities in our background00:06:17
his mother was very young my mother was00:06:19
very young00:06:20
steve's father abandoned them i never00:06:23
knew my father00:06:24
and we knew somehow from that moment on00:06:26
that we00:06:27
had only each other00:06:30
[Music]00:06:32
four months after we met then we got00:06:34
married00:06:36
we would go to the theater and then we00:06:37
would go eat and we all had00:06:40
this thing we never went to sleep we00:06:42
were all in our 20s at that point all of00:06:44
us being00:06:45
you know steve and neal and riding00:06:47
motorcycles around the village and00:06:50
breaking into show business from the00:06:52
first meeting i thought he was wrong for00:06:54
neil00:06:55
she was uh friendly warm uh wonderful00:06:59
and very very talented00:07:00
i felt that steve was a spoiler a00:07:04
a very hardened tough opportunist00:07:07
he was competitive with every actor he00:07:08
worked with and competitive with neil00:07:10
and it was that kind of passionate00:07:13
desire to succeed to get out of00:07:16
the situation he was in that was a00:07:19
thread that ran through his life00:07:20
because he realized that if he didn't00:07:22
take care of number one nobody else00:07:24
would00:07:25
after three months steve was fired from00:07:27
a hat full of rain00:07:28
and neil supported them both i was so00:07:30
exhausted i was really tired and i00:07:32
really didn't want to cook but i knew i00:07:34
had to so00:07:35
i went to the market and got a tv dinner00:07:37
in those days the tv dinner00:07:40
was really obnoxious but anyway i tried00:07:42
to disguise it i made it real pretty on00:07:44
the plate00:07:45
he sat down he took one look at that00:07:47
plate and he knew it was a tv dinner00:07:49
that picked it up and threw it against00:07:50
the wall i said well that's it i'll00:07:52
never do that again00:07:53
so anyway uh eventually then um00:07:58
because he was driving me crazy with00:07:59
these little kinds of things00:08:01
i then asked my manager i had a meeting00:08:04
with steve00:08:05
and what then passed for a conversation00:08:07
called neil and said look uh00:08:09
he's rude he's crude and i'm just not00:08:11
interested00:08:13
not at all i said you have got to00:08:16
work with steve and hilly said there are00:08:19
too many blond boys in hollywood00:08:21
uh you know i i can't handle him and00:08:24
then he said he's a besides he married00:08:26
you for your money anyway he said you00:08:27
know let's get rid of him i said are you00:08:29
crazy00:08:30
i said you're talking about my husband00:08:32
then00:08:33
two weeks later i saw him do about one00:08:35
minute on the defenders and he00:08:37
broke through the screen i mean those00:08:38
eyes just came right at you i called her00:08:40
and said i'm very wrong00:08:41
i'd love to sign him and i did00:08:44
joey00:08:48
you do what they say00:08:51
now you hear you hear me you00:08:55
you hear me okay00:09:04
thank you don't you ever do that to me00:09:09
again00:09:11
what was so terrible about it what's up00:09:13
well i'll tell you mr preston00:09:15
that's a poor dumb woman and she's00:09:17
sitting there dying did you know that00:09:20
and i can't look that woman in the face00:09:21
i can't open my mouth at her00:09:23
because if i do i i'll cry and you bring00:09:26
it to me here00:09:28
i got all i can do to stand on my two00:09:29
feet mr preston00:09:31
they're shaving the hair off of my head00:09:32
and i know but my mother don't know it00:09:33
do you hear me00:09:39
instinctively i knew that what was00:09:41
showing through was not00:09:43
the man that i knew i see what i keep00:09:45
seeing is brand or dean and it's just00:09:47
you know it doesn't work00:09:49
and he realized that what i was talking00:09:52
about was right so i said00:09:54
smile a little bit i know it's it's a00:09:55
tough thing to do because you're playing00:09:57
a killer but when you're talking to your00:09:59
mother or something you've got to be00:10:00
able to show00:10:01
something of you so he did and for the00:10:05
first time then he got00:10:06
fan mail and he said yeah yeah that's00:10:08
good and he knew i was on his team00:10:10
they they will believe in her so i was00:10:13
beginning with wrong00:10:14
did you punch her i swear to god nice00:10:17
respectable woman joshua do i have to00:10:19
say it00:10:20
i swear i swear to god a pop's grave i00:10:22
never killed nobody00:10:25
he electrified me i was sitting in my00:10:28
chair half asleep00:10:30
and he woke me up and i couldn't get00:10:31
over how steve mcqueen00:10:34
looked and acted on the on the tube00:10:37
jack harris was about to produce a00:10:39
horror film that was to become00:10:41
a cult classic steve had a reputation00:10:44
for being a troublemaker00:10:46
and he earned it sincerely he was very00:10:49
hard to deal with00:10:50
whenever we had a problem the director00:10:53
would call me and say well your star00:10:55
is acting up again and i'd run out to00:10:57
the set00:10:58
and sit down with steve and once i got00:11:01
past the00:11:02
uh i'm going to call my agent i'm going00:11:04
to call my manager i'm going to call my00:11:05
lawyer routine00:11:06
we were able to sit down and talk about00:11:08
what was going on what was wrong00:11:10
and in the end we were always able to00:11:11
come to terms00:11:13
what he was looking for was not to tell00:11:15
everybody what to do00:11:16
he wanted approval he wanted somebody to00:11:19
be daddy that would say00:11:20
you're a nice guy and i like you00:11:23
steve's appearance in several low-budget00:11:26
movies went unnoticed00:11:28
however neil's career soared00:11:31
steve felt very out of it and another00:11:33
client of mine bob culp was doing a00:11:34
series of four star called track down00:11:36
which is a wednesday night series00:11:38
and they were going to do a a new series00:11:41
which was going to be a spin-off on that00:11:43
one called00:11:44
the bounty hunter uh and i thought00:11:48
that it might be interesting for steve00:11:49
because he was playing a heavy00:11:51
and that was for the first time in00:11:53
television that a guy who was out00:11:54
killing people00:11:55
was the lead in the series00:12:12
steve made that character in that show00:12:15
his own it was his contribution that made it00:12:17
something other than another television00:12:20
show00:12:23
well i'll have a sirloin steak and i00:12:24
like to have it just about that thick00:12:27
josh randall was a reactor that was00:12:28
steve's greatest talent00:12:31
i mean it was body language it was the00:12:33
face it was the raised eyebrow the look00:12:35
across the camera00:12:36
and the loves ski00:12:40
he started experimenting with a camera00:12:42
to see what worked and didn't work00:12:44
and he was very he was very studious00:12:46
about that and00:12:47
this man with no uh literary artistic00:12:51
background had00:12:52
this incredible animal instinct about00:12:54
himself and about what worked for00:12:56
himself00:12:59
he drove the directors and the producers00:13:00
nuts he drove him crazy if the script00:13:02
didn't work he threw it out00:13:06
the result was a killer series00:13:12
i first met steve when he was doing his00:13:14
television series00:13:16
and i once said to him you know you're00:13:18
not very well liked here and he said00:13:19
hey i'm not here to be liked i'm here to00:13:21
do a show i'm here to do the best i can00:13:24
his character of josh randall in that00:13:27
one and dead or live was00:13:28
pretty much him uh you know a00:13:32
loner and uh action guy00:13:36
he would get up get on his motorcycle00:13:38
and go riding by himself until sun up or00:13:40
what have you00:13:42
he liked to be alone a lot00:13:48
steve mcqueen came into my motorcycle00:13:50
shop i didn't i didn't know that he was00:13:52
an actor at the time00:13:54
but yeah i kind of acted like one00:13:55
because either most of them are kind of00:13:57
pushy when it comes to getting service00:13:59
they think they're pretty important00:14:01
he got interested in dirt bike riding so00:14:03
i'm building one00:14:05
and we went racing together00:14:09
and he would have been put into the00:14:11
expert class but what would happen is he00:14:13
go off and make a film00:14:14
so that would keep him down to the00:14:16
amateur rating00:14:21
steve was competitive with anything00:14:23
lagging coins or hopscotch or00:14:25
what have you00:14:37
wanted dead or alive lasted three years00:14:41
meanwhile in 1959 steve's work had been00:14:44
noticed by john sturgis00:14:45
[Music]00:14:48
never so few was a tremendous step for00:14:51
steve first of all frank sinatra was00:14:54
incredibly generous to steve00:14:56
on this picture and john sturgis then00:14:59
took advantage00:15:00
of that generosity by really working00:15:02
with steve00:15:04
sturgis thought steve's natural00:15:06
cockiness would be perfect for the part00:15:09
and his instincts proved right my name's00:15:12
ringer sir colonel parkinson's driver00:15:16
where's the colonel i think he's locking00:15:18
a military mission he said he'd meet00:15:19
your headquarters at zero00:15:21
and zero eight hundred in the morning00:15:23
what's expected to do to zero eight00:15:24
hundred in the morning00:15:25
player last name of jax well he00:15:27
suggested the captain use the time to00:15:29
adjust himself to civilization00:15:31
you know girls booze you've got my00:15:33
weapons here in the bank dick00:15:35
sir defiance of authority would become00:15:38
steve's00:15:40
more afraid this is an incident sorry00:15:42
sign fred00:15:45
we're gonna get a court martial for00:15:47
stopping the japanese from getting our00:15:49
gear00:15:50
for stopping these dirty little rocks00:15:54
and he was now in the movie business the00:15:57
opportunity for a picture called00:15:59
magnificent seven came up there were00:16:02
there were seven lines00:16:03
of dialogue and i called john and i said00:16:05
john00:16:06
uh how can i recommend this to a queen00:16:10
and he said hilly i'll give him a camera00:16:12
[Music]00:16:18
now there are not a lot of people00:16:21
who say that that you as a manager or00:16:24
representative can rely on john sturges00:16:26
you can rely on00:16:27
and i said okay we did the magnificent00:16:31
seven the rest is history00:16:39
[Music]00:16:41
better book00:16:43
[Music]00:16:47
second story window curtain moved00:16:51
i'm not in a good position00:16:56
the real star of that film supposedly00:16:58
was yule brynner but steve came off as00:17:00
the real star00:17:01
your gunner's got you everything you00:17:03
have isn't it true00:17:05
yeah sure everything after a while you00:17:08
can call bartenders and pharaoh dealers00:17:09
by their first name00:17:10
maybe 200 of them rented rooms you live00:17:13
in 50000:17:14
home none wife not kids00:17:18
none not because of his00:17:22
uh act his part in the uh00:17:25
in the film but just because of his00:17:27
presence his presence was incredible00:17:30
and that's when we really knew that he00:17:33
had a00:17:34
really big chance at making it00:17:38
steve's daughter terry was born in june00:17:40
195900:17:41
[Music]00:17:45
eighteen months later came a son chad00:17:50
[Music]00:17:54
parenthood was a role steve would never00:17:56
grow tired of00:18:00
in 1962 steve was still searching for00:18:03
the film that would make him a major00:18:04
star00:18:05
john sturgis brought him a script00:18:08
i knew him about two years i guess00:18:12
and he says uh bud you want to go to00:18:15

[Music]00:20:09
he makes us all feel we can come back we00:20:12
can kick ass00:20:16
ironically the stunt that brought steve00:20:19
white acclaim00:20:20
was actually performed by his friend00:20:24
bodkins in 10 years00:20:28
steve mcqueen had gone from a fifth00:20:29
floor walk up in greenwich village to a00:20:32
rambling brentwood home he and neil00:20:34
tagged the castle00:20:35
he had become a collector antique toys00:20:38
motorcycles and cars00:20:42

[Music]00:21:09
congratulations00:21:14
love with the proper stranger finally00:21:17
was really the first00:21:20
film the first movie where you saw00:21:23
a three-dimensional steam it seems very00:21:26
funny putting you together with a family00:21:28
somehow00:21:29
what did you think i got hatched out of00:21:30
an egg00:21:33
in a way they love you what are you00:21:35
talking about love00:21:36
they haven't seen me for a long time let00:21:38
me hang around here a couple of months00:21:39
i'll melt right into the wallpaper like00:21:40
everybody else00:21:42
it showed all the aspects that made him00:21:46
really appeal to women so much00:21:49
because it showed this macho man00:21:53
who dared to be vulnerable00:22:00
that's what makes it rough and they love00:22:02
you00:22:04
love with a proper stranger received00:22:06
five academy award nominations00:22:08
including natalie woods third though he00:22:11
was not nominated00:22:12
steve at 33 was now an acknowledged00:22:15
superstar00:22:17
the film had revealed a new and gentle00:22:19
mcqueen00:22:21
but the other more aggressive image00:22:23
remained00:22:25
the first experience i had with steve00:22:28
acting00:22:29
was in cincinnati kid the feeling was00:22:32
that the kind of killer instinct in steve mcqueen00:22:34
would take over00:22:36
and really make it miserable for this00:22:38
new director00:22:40
and he said you know i'd like to see the00:22:41
dailies00:22:43
i'm used to seeing the dailies00:22:46
i said what do you want to see the00:22:47
dailies for he's well you know i just00:22:50
like to see00:22:51
you know i said i don't know whether00:22:52
that's a good idea steve00:22:54
you know we've got a lot of important00:22:56
actors and yourself00:22:58
and eddie rums and then margaret and i00:23:01
used a lot of words and tried to explain00:23:03
to him00:23:05
and he says you're twisting my melon man00:23:08
you're twisting my melon you're getting00:23:09
me all mixed up00:23:10
he used to say to me he talked so hip i00:23:13
never knew what he was saying half the00:23:14
time00:23:16
steve mcqueen realized that he had a big00:23:17
challenge when he did cincinnati kid00:23:22
and i from my point of view i have a00:23:24
feeling he felt00:23:26
that he got into the big leagues he was00:23:29
a little nervous about eddie robinson00:23:32
eddie was a star a sign of insecurities00:23:36
when an actor looks away you know and00:23:37
steve used to always look down at his00:23:40
feet he'd look up at you like that then00:23:43
he'd look away again00:23:46
nancy this is eric stoner the cincinnati00:23:49
kid00:23:50
lancy howard oh i've been hearing about00:23:52
you for a couple of years now00:23:55
yellow there tells me how you gutted him00:23:57
once with a pair of paws00:24:00
remember kid the night you cut me up00:24:02
with the two red pores00:24:04
most overplayed my hand00:24:07
like a kid that grew up you know on the00:24:10
streets00:24:11
um a kid that was always looking away00:24:13
looking down at his feet and kicking a00:24:16
rock and then he'd look up with that00:24:17
and grin you know00:24:18
hit this wonderful grin i00:24:22
played the part of the shooter the00:24:23
professional car dealer dealing in his00:24:25
favor00:24:26
so that he would win the game and he00:24:29
spotted it00:24:30
and he has to take some time off to go00:24:32
to his room rest00:24:34
and he asked me to come up to his room00:24:37
and when i did00:24:38
he confronted me with a question of are00:24:41
you cheating00:24:43
and he sprung at me like a tiger there00:24:46
are a number of actors who have that00:24:47
quality00:24:49
that any minute on screen00:24:53
you're going to see them explode there's00:24:55
something that00:24:56
they're so tense so high00:25:00
that you feel i'm gonna be here when he00:25:03
blows his top00:25:04
what are you talking about you shooter00:25:06
man you've been dealing me cards for an00:25:08
hour00:25:10
like hell i no kid00:25:13
no listen listen kid00:25:23
ah you bastard he didn't get along with00:25:26
ann margaret00:25:27
that well i hope you lose00:25:31
[Applause]00:25:33
thanks baby as a matter of fact00:25:37
women you know00:25:40
outside of neil i don't know whether he00:25:43
treated women that well00:25:45
basically uh women were broads and00:25:49
they were also challenges and there were00:25:50
notches on the belt00:25:53
and like anything else he had he had to00:25:55
prove his masculinity00:25:58
and the fact that whatever he wanted he00:26:01
could get00:26:03
and women i think he was afraid of00:26:06
afraid to trust them00:26:09
we suddenly got a call that steve's00:26:12
mother had had a stroke00:26:15
we were on our way to new orleans as a00:26:17
matter of fact and00:26:18
for the premier of cincinnati kid and we00:26:20
we had to cancel out00:26:22
uh we rushed to san francisco00:26:25
and we went to the hospital and julian00:26:29
hadn't regained consciousness and so we00:26:31
stood00:26:33
uh vigil00:26:36
steve kept hoping that she'd recover00:26:39
because there was so much now that he00:26:41
wanted to say to her00:26:43
now that she was dying and slipping away00:26:47
but unfortunately00:26:50
she she never recovered and uh00:26:53
it really hit him hard at that point00:26:57
and he sat down and just sobbed00:27:00
i felt he had been hurt badly when he00:27:03
was a child00:27:04
he had a difficulty in in relationships00:27:10
and yet he had such believability when i00:27:13
looked through that camera you know00:27:15
i would believe him00:27:21
steve was i think drawn to do the part00:27:24
in sand pebbles00:27:25
uh because he had a lot of feeling and00:27:27
empathy i think for the character and he00:27:29
of course steve loved machines and the00:27:31
character at home and loved his engine00:27:35
[Music]00:27:41
hello engine i'm00:27:44
jake holman00:27:48
the thing with him was that you never00:27:49
quite knew what the mood was going to be00:27:52
i was trying to line up a dollar shot00:27:54
was a very difficult thing to get i had00:27:55
a tap for a00:27:56
felt tap on my shoulder and it was t he00:27:58
said now bob about this war room and i i00:28:00
blew up i said steve for heaven's sakes00:28:02
i used a little stronger language00:28:03
frankly please don't bring that up now00:28:06
i'm in the midst of something difficult00:28:07
let's talk about it tonight that's it00:28:10
well he was really hurt and he didn't00:28:12
speak to me for three days here i was00:28:14
directing the star of the film and he00:28:15
took directions in the uh00:28:16
he was in the scenes and he would listen00:28:18
to me but he did not speak one word to00:28:20
me for three days00:28:22
but i never worked with an actor i felt00:28:24
knew more knew better what worked for00:28:26
him on the screen00:28:37
i was home00:28:41
what happened what the hell00:28:45
happened00:28:56
i was talking to steve about uh his er00:29:00
we were talking about his acting um00:29:04
and uh he says but he says for me00:29:07
you know to do some of these scenes he's00:29:09
just like reaching down on my own00:29:10
stomach and pulling ground glass out00:29:14
for his performance steve won an academy00:29:17
award nomination00:29:18
and the greatest critical acclaim of his00:29:20
career00:29:22
he received the photo play gold medal00:29:24
award00:29:25
and in japan he was named the most00:29:27
popular foreign star00:29:28
for the second consecutive year one00:29:32
morning we were having breakfast and i00:29:33
said00:29:34
gee honey that's too bad you know that00:29:37
norman doesn't want you for00:29:39
the crown cable because i think you00:29:41
could do it00:29:42
and he was eating his french toast and00:29:45
he sort of stopped he said00:29:46
what are you talking about i said well00:29:48
you know norman wants either sean00:29:50
connery or rock huzzah for this part00:29:52
it's unfortunate you know because you00:29:54
could be i think really terrific in it00:29:56
he said you got to be kidding me what do00:29:57
you mean he doesn't want me i said he00:29:58
doesn't he don't want you he's given the00:30:00
script to everybody nollywood about you00:30:03
i said you're not right for it steve my00:30:04
god this man wears a shirt and tie00:30:07
he's a phi beta kappa graduate of00:30:09
dartmouth00:30:11
he says that's why i want to do it and i00:30:14
think he wanted00:30:16
to grow up he wanted to play a part00:30:20
that he had never played before and00:30:22
maybe00:30:23
in a secret desire deep within him he00:30:26
wanted to be thomas crown00:30:28
you know who was so bright and erudite00:30:31
and cultured and sophisticated and00:30:33
chic and smart and a bostonian from an00:30:36
old family00:30:38
all of the things that steve wasn't00:30:43
he was so competitive that he got out on00:30:46
a polo field00:30:47
and played until his hands bled00:30:51
the blood was literally running off his00:30:53
hands00:30:54
because he had to prove to those guys00:30:58
out there those00:30:59
those other professional polo players00:31:01
that he could play00:31:07
do you play00:31:10
[Music]00:31:11
try me faye dunaway gave him a tough00:31:15
time because i don't think she would00:31:18
she fell for his charm you know i think00:31:20
he always tried to seduce women00:31:23
with this kind of charming00:31:27
not caring macho relationship00:31:32
but she kind of held them off i think00:31:36
maybe that's why they're so good00:31:37
together in that film00:31:39
it's a love story between two shits you00:31:44
know00:31:52
[Music]00:32:00
[Music]00:32:04
let's play something else00:32:16
and it was this very important scene and00:32:18
we wanted it to be in silhouette and i00:32:20
explained that to him00:32:21
and we waited for the sun and just at00:32:24
the right time00:32:25
i said okay we're ready let's get the00:32:26
actors fine and they said steve's not00:32:29
here and i said where is he well he's on00:32:30
his dune buggy and he's doing wheelies00:32:32
up the beach in the surf00:32:34
[Music]00:32:36
when he arrived he says okay gee i'm00:32:39
sorry i didn't know that you were ready00:32:41
to go uh00:32:42
are we ready and i said no we missed it00:32:44
steve so we're not gonna shoot it00:32:46
he was very competitive very tough00:32:50
but there was something about him i00:32:52
liked he was like a kid brother he was00:32:55
like the brother who00:32:57
never went to school like the brother00:33:00
who had been hurt [Music]00:33:02
he worked very hard on that film i think00:33:05
he enjoyed it00:33:07
but i think he was enormously insecure00:33:10
about doing it in spite of the fact that00:33:13
he had talked me into playing the part00:33:15
but maybe that was it maybe that's why00:33:17
he did it because i turned him down00:33:21
with five solid hits behind him steve00:33:23
made an important decision00:33:25
to use his own production company solar00:33:27
as the basis00:33:28
for an empire the kid from china was00:33:31
calling his own shots00:33:34
robert gorelier was solar's executive00:33:36
producer00:33:37
he knew that if he was going to have00:33:39
control00:33:40
over his own destiny the films that he00:33:42
made00:33:43
how they were going to be made that was00:33:45
the time for him to do it00:33:46
[Music]00:33:48
bullet was the first of solar's six00:33:50
picture deal with warner brothers00:33:53
the idea of playing an unconventional00:33:55
detective appealed to steve00:33:58
so did something else00:34:05
bullet started out a whole series of00:34:08
chase scenes that people did from then00:34:10
on but we were running better than 10000:34:12
miles an hour and that's the first time00:34:14
that i know of that they were shooting00:34:16
real speeds00:34:18
they gave him a ten o'clock call that00:34:20
morning instead of a seven00:34:21
and when he got there they had my hair00:34:25
sprayed down blonde and i was in the car00:34:28
and i was jumping this car00:34:29
down this hill00:34:39
and he comes up the car and he says00:34:43
how'd you learn how to drive like that i00:34:45
don't know steve00:34:46
he says you know you did it to me again00:34:48
i said what do you mean i did it00:34:50
again he says well he says the great00:34:53
escape right00:34:54
he says i had to go up in front of the00:34:56
whole world00:34:58
and tell him that i didn't do that he00:34:59
says now you got this00:35:01
car jump here and the same thing is00:35:03
going to happen00:35:05
in the climate of 1968 an00:35:07
anti-establishment cop00:35:09
had strong appeal come on now don't be00:35:13
naive lieutenant00:35:14
we both know how careers are made00:35:18
get the hell out of here now00:35:20
[Music]00:35:25
cost overruns and steve's refusal to00:35:27
accept studio controls resulted in00:35:30
cancellation of the six picture contract00:35:33
but bullet became one of steve mcqueen's00:35:34
greatest hits00:35:36
he was voted world film favorite by the00:35:38
hollywood foreign press association00:35:41
the man's name is frank bullitt the last00:35:44
thing in the world you'd ever take frank00:35:46
bullitt for was a cop00:35:58
steve mcqueen is frank bullet a warner00:36:01
brothers seven arts picture and00:36:02
technicolor00:36:03
co-starring jacqueline bessette and00:36:05
robert dawn00:36:12
[Music]00:36:14
in 1969 steve took a gamble and played a00:36:18
character that was entirely new to him00:36:20
in the reavers00:36:26
[Music]00:36:29
enjoying yourself yeah00:36:32
[Music]00:36:33
how long you estimate they'll be gone00:36:36
father said00:36:37
four days four days00:36:41
that ought to be long enough00:36:44
for two men in an automobile to go to00:36:46
memphis tennessee00:36:48
the one thing that was extraordinary00:36:51
and the attitude that never changed was00:36:54
towards our children00:36:56
he really was wonderful with them and he00:36:58
was wonderful with children in general00:37:01
because he saw the world through the00:37:04
eyes of a child so consequently00:37:06
it was always play time when they were00:37:07
together it00:37:09
was very important to him that my00:37:12
brother and i00:37:13
had a real sense of home you know we00:37:15
were able to go to him and talk to him00:37:17
not just as a father but as a friend00:37:23
when the children were little when they00:37:24
were first born he really couldn't00:37:26
relate to them you know he just00:37:28
sort of dismissed them until they were00:37:30
able00:37:31
to uh become little persons as soon as00:37:34
their personalities started evolving00:37:36
then steve could relate to the little00:37:38
children00:37:41
and he had a little benelli motorcycle00:37:44
mini cycle for me00:37:46
very small and i just learned how to00:37:48
ride a bicycle i was probably00:37:50
six at the time he had me and my sister00:37:52
racing at00:37:54
a very young age00:37:58
he instilled a lot of things in me00:38:02
and my sister that he had learned00:38:06
i think he he used to say some to the00:38:08
fact that that00:38:09
i mean i've learned so now it'll save00:38:11
you the bumps and the bruises00:38:13
it was very important that we were not00:38:15
raised in the00:38:17
hollywood not to put down beverly hills00:38:19
but the hollywood beverly hills00:38:20
lifestyle you know00:38:21
of children that had no values we um00:38:25
we were raised with the values that i00:38:27
would hope i can00:38:28
manage to instill in my children00:38:35
[Music]00:38:39
he'd love those kids and no matter how00:38:41
bad our relationship got towards the end00:38:43
that was always constant00:38:46
you ever heard real street car bells00:38:49
seen the inside of a penny arcade00:38:51
or looked inside of a tattoo parlor00:38:55
you know we could stay up all night if00:38:56
you wanted to come in at dawn boss said00:38:59
we should take the automobile home and00:39:00
lock it up00:39:01
you know i put a lot of store into what00:39:04
boss says you know i do if you ever want to reach00:39:07
your manhood sometimes you got to say00:39:09
goodbye to the things you know00:39:11
hello to the things you00:39:15
[Music]00:39:18
as far as cars and motorcycles00:39:21
people used to ask me well how can you00:39:23
stand and i said how can i not stand it00:39:25
this is the man i love and he likes cars00:39:28
and machinery00:39:30
he raced because it was him00:39:33
a car against somebody else and a car00:39:39
he wanted to see what kind of human00:39:40
being he was what kind of person he was00:39:43
what kind of man he was00:39:44
it's on the edge he was on the edge how00:39:47
far could you go00:39:53
it was machines it was mechanics who00:39:57
knew how to make an engine00:39:58
purr and hum that's what he loved it was00:40:01
a00:40:02
purest kind of thing00:40:05
every time i start thinking the world is00:40:07
all bad then i start seeing some people00:40:09
out having a good time a motorcycle that00:40:10
makes me take another look00:40:14
he had broken his foot down near san00:40:16
diego in a motorcycle race00:40:18
and he went ahead and raced in sebring00:40:22
and when he got out of the car the cast00:40:24
had melted00:40:26
it was just a bunch of white gauze00:40:29
around this foot that had been broken we00:40:31
came in second overall00:40:32
first in his class00:40:40
had always been in steve's mind that if00:40:42
you're going to make a racing picture00:40:44
you made it about one race and that00:40:45
would be le mans and i said that will00:40:47
destroy us all00:40:49
in half the industry it was supposed to00:40:51
be a joke00:40:54
for five years he'd been planning a00:40:55
racing picture with john sturges00:40:58
in 1970 it seemed the dream would come00:41:00
true00:41:02
[Music]00:41:04
steve wanted to bring to the screen the00:41:06
excitement the passion the00:41:09
high that racing gave him00:41:16
but all his enthusiasm would not be00:41:19
enough to save the film00:41:20
and steve and the studio did not see eye00:41:23
to eye on the kind of picture we were00:41:24
making00:41:25
it was a debate someplace between making00:41:28
a00:41:29
pseudo documentary all the way to making00:41:31
a love story with00:41:32
racing as a background we probably never00:41:35
found the direction for the picture to00:41:37
go00:41:38
le mans was a critical in box office00:41:41
failure00:41:42
steve mcqueen's relationships with john00:41:44
sturgis00:41:45
and robert ended steve's dream for an00:41:48
empire based on00:41:49
solar productions dwindled his company00:41:53
collapsed00:41:54
and he would never race again that was00:41:57
really00:41:58
a blow to his ego ah00:42:01
because something that he had wanted so00:42:04
much that had been a part of him suddenly was just00:42:07
sort of squashed the burdens of stardom00:42:12
really is00:42:13
very very heavy it's a very difficult00:42:15
thing to handle00:42:17
especially if you're as sort of macho00:42:21
and uh and chauvinistic of stevens00:42:25
i was poor neil mcqueen was always00:42:28
worried about him00:42:29
and she would always joke about it she00:42:32
was a sainted woman i used to call her a00:42:33
saint00:42:34
i sent her a medal once i said and i00:42:36
told steve about it too00:42:38
i said you know she deserves a medal00:42:40
with a living with you00:42:42
she was the the anchor under around00:42:45
which the family00:42:46
was built because uh he'd take off you00:42:50
know he'd go his own way but she was00:42:51
always there00:42:52
she was a solid person in his mind00:42:57
anyway what happened is that00:43:00
about the mid 60s i guess 67 6800:43:03
is when the flower children came to be00:43:08
the drug culture was upon us the sexual00:43:11
revolution was upon us00:43:12
now his midlife crisis was upon us too00:43:15
[Music]00:43:18
had steve not been the age he was he00:43:21
would have been00:43:22
one of the flower children so he then00:43:25
adopted00:43:26
their lifestyle which of course00:43:30
helped to undermine our marriage00:43:33
steve and neil decided to go their00:43:35
separate ways00:43:36
and before long they would be divorced00:43:40
on the starting line he's not an actor00:43:42
out for a ride he's 10000:43:44
motorcycle racer00:43:47
the unexpected success of this feature00:43:49
documentary steve had helped produce00:43:51
offered some consolation for the failure00:43:54
of lemon00:43:56
there's no one with a more competitive00:43:58
instinct when he gets on his race face00:44:00
the world could be falling down around00:44:02
him but all he sees00:44:03
is the trap00:44:10
a one million dollar body out there with00:44:13
the possibility of being used by someone00:44:15
for traction in a corner00:44:18
if the movie studio moguls realized what00:44:20
he was doing on a sunday afternoon00:44:22
they'd have a coronary00:44:25
[Music]00:44:28
i saw a movie call on any sunday i said00:44:31
if00:44:32
there's any one actor i'd like to meet00:44:34
that's the man i'd like to meet00:44:37
and i'm in my karate school in sherman00:44:39
oaks00:44:40
and i get a call and my one of my00:44:42
instructors comes to me and says uh00:44:44
there's a call from steve mcqueen i00:44:46
guess you're kidding00:44:48
and so steve became one of my private00:44:49
students and trained with me for uh00:44:51
several years i did my first film00:44:54
and after i finished the film i once saw00:44:57
it i thought00:44:58
it's the worst movie i've ever seen in00:44:59
my life and steve uh00:45:01
came and saw it and he said well it's00:45:03
not that bad of a film00:45:04
but let me give you some advice he said00:45:09
you are verbalizing things on the screen00:45:12
that we have already seen visually00:45:15
and movies are visual it's a visual00:45:17
thing00:45:19
[Applause]00:45:28
this is another thing let your character00:45:31
actors00:45:32
fill in the plot of the movie00:45:35
and when there's something pertinent00:45:38
very important to say00:45:40
then you say it he said then the people00:45:43
will remember what you say00:45:44
he said that's what you've got to have00:45:46
in your movies memorable00:45:48
lines get depending00:45:52
tell them i'm for sale just pray do it00:45:59
right now get those guns down on the00:46:01
street00:46:03
kick them over now lay down that gutter00:46:09
in the gutter the getaway was an00:46:11
explosion of rage that struck in every00:46:26
direction00:46:28
what the hell do you want anyway00:46:33
it returned steve to box office power00:46:36
and soon he married his co-star00:46:38
ally mcgraw for his role in the 197300:46:43
film papillon00:46:45
steve was able to command the00:46:46
record-breaking fee of two million00:46:48
dollars00:46:49
dustin hoffman received a million and a00:46:51
quarter00:46:54
steve was back on top00:46:57
what do we got here kathy fire started00:46:59
81st floor storage room00:47:01
the following year steve achieved a00:47:04
long-held ambition00:47:05
spread what about your exhaust system00:47:07
well it should have reversed00:47:08
automatically it must have been a motor00:47:09
burnout or something00:47:10
sprinklers they're not working on 81.00:47:14
why not i don't know00:47:18
he had this competitiveness with paul00:47:20
newman because00:47:21
paul had become a star in somebody up00:47:24
there likes me and steve had a very00:47:26
minor part it took a long time to get00:47:32
to catch up with paul it took 18 years00:47:34
until the towering inferno00:47:36
when he finally had his name first00:47:40
horse was a little higher but uh it00:47:42
didn't matter he was first00:47:44
you know one of these days we're gonna00:47:46
kill ten thousand in one of these fire00:47:48
trucks00:47:50
and i'm gonna keep eating smoke and00:47:52
bringing out a body00:47:53
until somebody ask us00:47:56
[Music]00:47:57
how to build them00:48:00
okay i'm asking00:48:03
[Music]00:48:05
you know where to reach me00:48:08
it's a long architect and after he did00:48:11
it it seemed like he became so exhausted00:48:14
trying to catch up with paul newman00:48:15
that he dropped that i think he just got00:48:19
so tired00:48:20
of the way everybody00:48:23
would try you know everybody's hustling00:48:25
you know everybody wants something00:48:26
everybody wants00:48:27
you know this once that wants a piece of00:48:29
them00:48:33
and i think uh his old motorcycles and00:48:35
hanging out with his motorcycle buddies00:48:37
i mean he could be himself00:48:38
out where we were in malibu i mean00:48:40
nobody uh00:48:42
could give a damn if he was a movie star00:48:44
he was just one of the boys00:48:49
[Music]00:48:54
i think when you get to some sort of00:48:57
stardom like that you would you say00:49:00
is this all there is to it i mean i00:49:02
thought there was more out of life and i00:49:03
think he was searching for that00:49:05
he started to go to the boys republic00:49:07
every easter christmas and thanksgiving00:49:09
and take them turkeys and presents and00:49:10
easter baskets00:49:12
the um director max scott says that he00:49:14
used to just walk in and go talk to all00:49:16
the boys just like he00:49:17
belonged there and he would sit on the00:49:19
floor in the cottage where he had lived00:49:21
the temperature on one afternoon was in00:49:23
august and it was well over 115 degrees00:49:25
and he and holly mcgrath sat on the00:49:27
floor talking to the students for the entire00:49:30
afternoon00:49:31
and it got to a point where he decided00:49:32
he just wanted to be totally anonymous00:49:35
so he started growing his hair long and00:49:37
he started drinking a lot of beer and00:49:39
put on a lot of weight00:49:42
i drove onto the lot and here was this00:49:44
guy walking across00:49:46
with this enormous beard and these two00:49:48
eyes just00:49:50
piercing you know just just hot00:49:54
his eyes were so intense that day00:49:58
burning almost out of this great big00:50:01
muffle of a beard and he says hey00:50:06
don't you don't you recognize you don't00:50:08
you say hello to your old friends00:50:11
and i realized it was steve i hadn't00:50:12
recognized him00:50:15
we were divorced but uh somehow00:50:19
we really never divorced each other our00:50:21
relationship was ongoing00:50:23
first because it had to do with the00:50:24
children00:50:26
we had made certain that we wouldn't00:50:28
make the children pawns00:50:30
they were best friends until the time my00:50:32
dad passed away00:50:33
and they were always there for us we00:50:36
never experienced the00:50:37
see father on weekends and see mother00:50:40
during the week and see dad every other christmas00:50:46
it was four years since the towering00:50:48
inferno00:50:49
steve chose to appear in a film that00:50:51
dumbfounded the industry00:50:53
an enemy of the people doctor you can00:50:57
have everything you want00:50:58
the water's poisoned the people are00:51:01
poisoned00:51:02
the children are poisoned the water is00:51:05
poisoned00:51:07
and that's the end of it i can can't00:51:09
think of any other reason that drove00:51:10
steve to want to do the enemy of the00:51:12
people except to prove00:51:14
uh maybe to himself to start with and00:51:15
maybe to the to the public too or to00:51:17
hollywood that he was more than just the00:51:19
the physical type i'm against the00:51:22
age-old lie that the majority00:51:24
is always right00:51:27
listen to me the majority is always00:51:29
wrong00:51:31
have you looked down wasn't a majority00:51:35
right when they stood by while they00:51:36
crucified00:51:37
jesus was the majority right when they00:51:40
refused to believe that the earth00:51:41
revolved around the sun00:51:43
and allowed galileo to be driven to his00:51:45
knees00:51:47
listen to me it takes 50 years for the00:51:49
majority to be right00:51:51
and then the majority is never right00:51:56
until it does right00:52:01
the film was a critical disaster and was00:52:03
withdrawn from distribution00:52:05
however some critics applauded the00:52:07
courage of steve's effort00:52:10
in november 1977 ally mcgraw and steve00:52:13
mcqueen were divorced00:52:17
in his final film the hunter steve once00:52:20
more played a gun for hire00:52:23
an echo of the old days you like old00:52:27
things it's all you care about00:52:30
you know like anything that's new ralph00:52:33
new things are no good00:52:35
give them a chance to prove themselves00:52:37
[Music]00:52:40
i love you00:52:46
[Music]00:52:54
appropriately for steve mcqueen who had00:52:57
been abandoned by his own father00:52:59
and rejected by his mother these would00:53:02
be his last moments00:53:04
on film god bless you00:53:18
by 1980 when steve married his third00:53:21
wife barbara minty00:53:22
he was involved in his most difficult00:53:25
fight ever00:53:26
against cancer00:53:29
i had nearly uh forgot about him uh00:53:33
phone rings one day and says hi bud to00:53:36
steve i said steve who00:53:38
i didn't know who it was mcqueen i said00:53:40
oh how are you doing00:53:42
he's hey could we have lunch i said sure00:53:45
he called me one day and asked me if i00:53:46
would join him for lunch at mommy's home00:53:49
vat immediately set my alarms up i mean00:53:51
steve00:53:52
you know steve is not you know a mama00:53:55
his own guy and then we walked around00:53:56
beverly hills for about00:53:58
uh three hours00:54:01
and we talked about really the people00:54:05
that he had worked with and been around00:54:09
since he had been in the picture00:54:10
business he got very very close00:54:13
with people and00:54:17
like he was trying to make amends for00:54:22
his past00:54:24
life and trying to make up for00:54:26
everything00:54:28
to clear his way you know to god00:54:32
[Music]00:54:34
at age 50 steve mcqueen the unloved kid00:54:37
out of nowhere who became the highest00:54:39
paid in one of the most popular stars of00:54:41
his time00:54:43
lost his final battle it was november00:54:46
7th 1980 i think that00:54:49
[Music]00:54:50
that steve was00:54:53
one of the best film actors i have ever00:54:57
seen00:54:58
he was a alternatively a00:55:02
caring and uh and brutal human being00:55:06
he was determined to achieve what he saw00:55:09
as00:55:10
the right way to approach a situation be00:55:13
it an acting part00:55:14
of a mate a friend or a car race00:55:20
i liked him i hated him00:55:25
but i have the greatest respect for00:55:29
his inherent integrity it's kind of sad00:55:32
because i think he always00:55:34
was striving for something that maybe he00:55:37
felt he never got00:55:39
but he was a movie star and he was a00:55:42
great star00:55:44
and people responded to him00:55:48
they wanted him to win when he was up00:55:50
there in the screen00:55:53
[Music]00:55:55
when steve died we were all together at00:55:57
the ranch00:55:58
for the services and it was the first00:56:00
time ali and barbara had met00:56:03
and finally when it was time to say00:56:05
goodbye i just looked around and i said00:56:07
you know00:56:10
the sad part about that is that steve00:56:12
always used to say00:56:13
life is a scam yet as we left00:56:17
the ranch all i could think of were the00:56:20
happy memories really00:56:22
the bad times were canceled out by the00:56:24
good times00:56:26
and i could still see him with his00:56:28
wonderful teeth and those00:56:30
happy blue eyes not as he was later on i00:56:34
just suddenly reverted to the steve that i knew00:56:42
and it was incredible00:56:45
he'll always be there00:57:01

Subscribe for more Hollywood biographies and stories! https://www.youtube.com/TheHollywoodCollection?sub_confirmation=1 Steve McQueen was one of Hollywood’s highest paid stars – and one of its most difficult, most rebellious and, when he wished, most charming. His story is told with film clips from his greatest performances. Abandoned by his father, he was a reform school kid with nothing going for him and a giant chip on his shoulder. He joined the Marines, but never stayed far from trouble. Then he discovered acting – and the woman who would be with him for most of his meteoric career. His story is told with film clips from his greatest performances, including The Magnificent Seven, Love With The Proper Stranger, The Cincinnati Kid, The Reivers, The Great Escape, The Thomas Crown Affair, and Bullitt. Also shown are home movies – and the recollections of those who knew him best, including Steve’s first wife, Neile McQueen Toffel and their children, Terri and Chad, fellow actors Chuck Norris, Karl Malden, Don Gordon, as well as directors, producers, agents and the racing buddies who saw it all happen. Narrated by James Coburn.
