Steve McQueen was the coolest movie star ever.

Sean Connery and Clint Eastwood are icons, but Steve was the real thing.

My Catholic school showed THE GREAT ESCAPE.

He was that cool.

See ON ANY SUNDAY.

And today his sunglasses sold at auction for $70,000.

I always wanted a hair cut like his.

How cool.

See PAPILLION. He steamrollers Dustin Hoffman.

In THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN he was told by the producers that he couldn’t stand before Yul Brenner. McQueen accepted that edict, but in every scene he’s the only one moving while Yul Brenner talks.

The glasses came from THE THOMAS CROWN AFFAIR and look like Persols.

Super Cool.

McQueen was always cool enough to admit his friend Bud Ekins did that stunt over the barbed wire in THE GREAT ESCAPE.
