It's taken on an additional turn: I always wished I had a photo of myself interviewing McQueen. A few years ago I learned that there was a photographer on the set who shot those photos! But he doesn't have them, and doesn't know where they would be, with which studio. So if anyone reading this has a connection that might be able to locate the still photos from the Hunter shoot, let me know! You can reach me via my website: RPKdesigns.com.

Irritating and repetitive but it did highlight McQueen's generosity and that he never forgot where he came from. At the time of this story I think he already knew he was in trouble. In Sandford's book this is noted, in 1979: "Breaking a ten year press embargo, McQueen now granted a front page exclusive not to Time or Rolling Stone but to the Federalist, a local high school newspaper. He told his teenage interviewer, 'I think the press is full of s***, but I do have a certain respect for youth.'"John K Maddenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07103199955451435977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15023065.post-57370454485026721952012-06-09T10:21:15.482-04:002012-06-09T10:21:15.482-04:00If you want to see yet another side of steve, rent...If you want to see yet another side of steve, rent or buy "on any sunday" Greatest bike documentary ever made.

Steve McQueen has kind of become my new retro obsession, so expect quite a few more McQueen-related posts in the near future!Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18122952408610512684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15023065.post-8140932834702678452012-05-24T21:38:12.607-04:002012-05-24T21:38:12.607-04:00Dang, this dude was about as cool as they come!
