Steve McQueen [PDF ebook] 
The Life and Legend of a Hollywood Icon

Steve Mc Queen takes us on a journey as his harrowing and painful childhood is laid bare, through his glittering career, and right up to his heroic battle with cancer and dramatic death in Mexico. It chronicles the good with the ugly, revealing the great power Mc Queen wielded. It features numerous behind-the-scenes stories from some of his (and cinema’s) greatest films, including The Magnificent Seven , The Great Escape , The Sand Pebbles , The Thomas Crown Affair , Bullitt , The Getaway , and Papillon . The book’s triumph is the way in which the author explores Mc Queen in full through his larger-than-life exploits but as important, the lesser known, humanitarian side of the Hollywood legend. It also captures the fundamental essence of what made Mc Queen cinema’s "King of Cool."
