The amazing journey of one of Hollywood's brightest stars begins... In the 1970s, Hollywood icon Steve McQueen was the number one draw at the box-office with hits such as "The Magnificent Seven", "The Great Escape", "The Thomas Crown Affair" and "Bullitt", to name just a few. Notorious for his race-car driving and being a ladies' man, he resolutely did things his way. This unproduced screenplay, widely circulated in Hollywood, recounts Steve's early days before becoming a star: how he was forged into the King of Cool. From his first love, to globe-trotting adventures, to serving in the marines-and a real-life, daring rescue of fellow soldiers-this tale has it all. A moving coming-of-age story sure to thrill, even if you don't know much about Steve McQueen, and it might just help you rediscover his work! A powerful screenplay-the author worked with Steve's son, Chad McQueen *Revised Edition*
