Steve McQueen defined cool on the silver screen like no actor has before or since. McQueen in many ways personified the great American myth; strong, self-reliant and adventuresome; yet at the same time he had a cynical and brooding edge that set him apart.
While his persona is what made him a legend, his body of work has remarkable depth and quality. The Great Escape, The Magnificent Seven, Bullitt, The Thomas Crown Affair and The Getaway are unquestionable classics, and films like The Sand Pebbles, The Reivers, Junior Bonner and Papillon gave McQueen an opportunity to tackle more character-driven fare with great success.
With a powerful screen presence and unforgettable charm, McQueen stands with Brando, Bogart and Heston as one of the legendary leading men in film history.
