Happy Birthday To Steve McQueen, A Former U.S. Marine, A Fine Actor And One Very Cool Guy


Happy birthday to Steve McQueen.

A former U.S. Marine, a fine actor and one very cool guy, Steve McQueen appeared in several of my favorite films, including Bullitt, The Magnificent Seven, The Great Escape, The Sand Pebbles and Tom Horn.

Comcast Cable is offering The Magnificent Seven on Demand and I plan to watch this great film again later today in honor of Steve McQueen's birthday.

The web site biography.com offers more on McQueen:

In the 1960s, he starred in several successful films, including The Magnificent Seven and The Great Escape. In 1971, he formed First Artists Productions.
