Steve McQueen

CAN BRADLEY COOPER FILL STEVE MCQUEEN’S SHOES?

Steven Spielberg must be on a retro kick because he just announced that he is directing a new version of the 1968 classic movie Bullitt starring Bradley Cooper in the Steve McQueen role. We weren’t thrilled with his remake of West Side Story, but he insists this will NOT be a remake, but a whole new idea. (It’s funny that back in the 70’s Spielberg tried to cast McQueen to star in one of his films, but was turned down.) The original Bullitt was about a macho San Francisco cop hunting for a mobster who killed his witness. It has the most famous car chase in film history. Sexy McQueen raced cars and motorcycles in real life, and he put turtleneck sweaters on the map. It will be a challenge for Bradley Cooper, but he could bring a whole new intelligence to the role.

John Wayne Steve McQueen Thanks for the Memories

WHO KNEW STEVE MCQUEEN WAS SUCH A FAN OF JOHN WAYNE?

This vintage photo of Steve McQueen throwing his arms around John Wayne was probably taken before paparazzi even existed. So celebrities weren’t as afraid to look foolish because usually there was no one around the document the situation. Judging by the liquor bottles these two were high as kites and it’s a funny moment. Any of you got a caption for this?

Steve McQueen has just sold for $276,000. The bike was really old – a 1929 Scott Super Squirrel that was restored and painted by Kenny “Von Dutch” Howard before Steve got it in the 70’s. Steve had a collection of over a hundred classic motorcycles when he died in 1980.
