The mysterious thing about Steve McQueen's success is karma. McQueen saved three lives, fellow Marines, on a training exercise off the coast of Alaska, pulling them out of a tank that was sinking fast, underwater. He later used his G.I. Bill to pay for his acting school in NYC. And then karma came around. I am so glad that my generation grew up with McQueen as one of our heroes--he was a real man, salt-of-the-earth, and had the courage to live his dreams. He taught us to never be afraid to live our dreams. Long live Steve McQueen!
@@keepcool319 as is your knowledge of this matter. Ask Kelsey Norman and mMarshall Terrell. I will go with their knowLedge rather than someone like you who throws in an uncalled for piece of abuse in lieu of any evidence to counter my statement.
This short clip was excellent. It’s amazing how little there is of McQueen being interviewed available online. And Linkletter was a very good interviewer.
I can definitely see why he was called The King of Cool. I call him the King of Fine, not solely on his looks, it's obvious he was a jewel, but it was his unique way to apply a combination of passion, sensuality, intensity and vulnerability to his performances. It was like every one of those qualities were just bursting out yet he was able to temper them to deliver awesome performances. I also am so happy he accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior in his later years. He was simply beautiful.💜😺
Thanks to you and God bless you dear Steve Mcqueen ! Beyond your passion for fast cars, airplanes and motorbikes, I awe you so much in life, especially my passion for horses since I grew up watching you as Josh Randall in the sixties upping in your stirrup with one quick jump. More than fifty years of passion for westerns and horses because of you and the Great John Wayne. A passion that came reality for me in the Rockies of Canadian West. Oh! Dear Steve , you brought us will, endurance, strength, courage and daring in life. I regret your too early departure for another dimension but, since I am not alone thinking that, let's say that we will meet you over there one day or another on horse back of course! Gratefully to you Morinos TV!
Sorry, that is not Jack Linkletter interviewing Steve. Your title is wrong. What is not commonly known is that Jack (my father) spent two weeks in Germany riding around on motorcycles with Steve McQueen. So they were buddies. But thisinterview is done by Dick Strowden?
I wish MCQueen had been with John Wayne and Richard Widmark in "The Alamo". But I think he was probably having more fun making a fool out of Yul Brynner in "The Magnificent Seven" at the time.
I don't think he was a heavy drinker at that time but he was surely a bit sarcastic when making that statement. You can hear some giggles in the background when he says he doesn't smoke a lot.
I think he really started drinking regulary in the early 70's. He married to Ali Macgraw in 1973 and she said between 1974-1977 the year they divorced, he was drinking beer almost everyday. During this period he didn't make any movie.

A myth I’m afraid
Al all Rampart said about McQueen was true except it was not 3 men he saved but 5. It was not a myth.
Thanks,

My dad is a lifelong Steve McQueen fan and so am I. Best wishes from Iran

Your sobriety is a myth I'm afraid. 🙄

HE said he didnt drink! that was 62.. did he start drinking later in the 70s?
or was he always a non drinker?
I don't think he was a heavy drinker at that time but he was surely a bit sarcastic when making that statement. You can hear some giggles in the background when he says he doesn't smoke a lot.
He started to get heavy into drugs later in life.
I think he really started drinking regulary in the early 70's. He married to Ali Macgraw in 1973 and she said between 1974-1977 the year they divorced, he was drinking beer almost everyday. During this period he didn't make any movie.
He started drinking later in the 60's
McQueen started smoking cigarettes in the 50's. He smoked a lot.
