Full Steve McQueen Biography
He owned several exotic sportscars, including:
- Porsche 917, Porsche 908 and Ferrari 512 race cars from the Le Mans film.
- 1963 Ferrari 250 Lusso Berlinetta
- Jaguar D-Type XKSS
- Porsche 356 Speedster
He took a break from acting (which at the time was his retirement) after starring alongside Paul Newman in The Towering Inferno. In that time he gained weight, grew his hair long, and partied. The only film he appeared in before his comeback in The Hunter in 1979 was "An Enemy of the People", based on the play by Henrik Ibsen in which his character had a beard and was overweight (basically looking like he did during his retirement). The film never saw a theatrical release and is still currently unavailable on VHS or DVD. When he appeared in The Hunter and Tom Horn he was back in the prime shape as during his hey-day, but he didn't know yet of his disease.
He had been interested in starring in First Blood, but could not due to illness. He had also been offered the titular role in The Bodyguard when it was first proposed in 1976. He was to play the lead in Quigley Down Under, which was scheduled for production in 1980, but due to his illness, the project was scrapped until a decade later, with Tom Selleck in the starring role. |
