McQueen died iast week in Mexico. Ris body was ravaged by cancer from his lun s to his diaphragm. He really didn't hope of sur- vival. McQueen came to the at- tention of sereen viewers back in the 60's when he por- trayed a bounty hunter in a weekly television series. For the most. part of his screen career, he neyer varied'very much from the character in this original televisiori role. McQueen managed to convery to the audience that he was ail for right, but a rebel in the way he went about it. This was one of his loveable qualities. He did receive an Oscar nomination for his role in the Sand Peb- bies, but for the most part he was liked for his toughness, his grit and determination to portray a man who had to do it the right way, but his way. Steve McQeen was demanding and getting $3 million for each movie hie did at the end of his career. The money was not a major factor in his life. He couldn't care less for Hollywood par- ties, night sports and hobknobbing with the so- called eleitè*0f Hollywood. He preferred to join up with a gang of his bodies, and head out for a day of fun on his motorcyle. One of the likeable qualities about Steve McQueen was the fact that whiie he made gobs of money, he did not put him- self above the ordinary guy. In fact, just about a year ago he tried to disguise himself by growing a beard, so he couid just wander into any bar, sit down and have a beer and joîn in the gabfest with the guys, without being know as Steve McQueen, the movie star. McQueen made a nuniber 0f movies, but the one we like the best was his movie The Great Escape. He had many others, but this one rated very high with this reviewer. Considering the mari as an actor he had an effortless sex appeal, his remarkable reiationship with the camera and his limited, but authentic acting skills, it was perhaps inevitable that he wOuld become one of Hollywood's most durable but loveaibe actors. He did in his own way and out do both Dean and Brando, but he nianaged it without even trying. In the sixties he cor- muncated with the hard- hats and hippes alike. During the seventies he moved on to the middle and iower classes and was respected by both parties. MeQueen may flot be rememberd in the same way that Dean and Gable were revered, but his image was down to earth, and that is what made poeple not only like him as a human being, but wiuling to sheli out the money to go and see his movies. The screen lot a good one when it lost Steve McQueen. Let's hope. someone will corne along soon to take hîs place. HECresuits CONT' D FROM PC. 3 on the board.
