I was fortunate to meet Steve McQueen in 1971 while I was bussing tables in Barstow, California at Lou's Hacienda (restaurant). McQueen, Malcolm Smith and Mert Lawell came in to eat. They were in town filming "On Any Sunday". I was in awe at his easy demeanor and friendliness as I served them coffee and chatted a bit. It was a weekend and I didn't want to be at work. I took every opportunity to return to their table, keeping their coffee cups full. When they had finished and were leaving, I walked by their table as they got up. Steve held out his hand and said to me. "Winston. Nice to meet you. Hang in there kid". He palmed me a $10 tip with his folded up place-setting, autographed ""Winston, Hang in their kid". Steve McQueen." WOW! What Rush!
I bet you were on cloud 9, pouring coffee would of made me nervous and shakey.Did you frame that $10 dollars!
A man who carried immeasurable presence, of and on the screen. RIP Steve, you are a legend that will never be forgotten
That's true. Steve was a one off. They don't make em like him any more.
He seems so down to earth too so real
Yer cool bloke cool name
Nor equalled.....
The King of Cool
Hard to believe Steve’s been gone 40 years. Loved all his movies.
50 years ! Very sad stay in peace Steve you will stay légende forever !
He died to young at 50 if he had lived it would have been interesting to see how his life would have been like in the 80's maybe he might have made a return to Hollywood and gone into directing movies in the 1990's pity he did not beat the Cancer in 1980.
😮Moi ses se que j'ai pas attendu part la presse ils serait mort sur la table d'opération d'un infarctus triste repose en paix Steve
This cat shoved more life into his fifty years than most of us could hope to in 150 years. I lived so close in Brentwood, but never saw him like some of my classmates at Revere and Pali did. Word was that he was as super cool as the characters he played.
My favorite actor ever. Gone far too soon from a nasty and terrible disease. There was never an actor like him before and there definitely hasn’t been one since. It’s a massive shame that we didn’t get to see him transition into a character actor in his later years as he had already started to do with a few film roles and had shown flashes of throughout his career. Cinema suffered greatly the day Steve passed.
I am glad that he seemed to have found some peace towards the end after a tumultuous and rough life.
Steve McQueen, Lee Marvin, Charles Bronson, Paul Neuman James Coburn, Burt Lancaster.............
Last of the real men!!!!!!!!!!!!! Im glad I was able to grow up watching these guys.........
You for got one important man, Charlton Heston 👍😇
Tom Hardy?
Your comment made me cry.Brought memories bulldozing their way in now I'm in tears.I miss my dad sooo much RIP BILL KIKOAK I watched so many movies with him.John Wayne was one of his faves and the ones you mentioned.
Robert Redford, Jimmy Cagney, Kirk Douglas, Robert Mitchum, John Wayne
Steve McQueen beat up girls
He epitomised coolness and his presence on screen was a joy to behold. They just don't make them like this anymore.
I'm glad he's happy now RIP Steve
Thankyou Barbara 💕
He was the coolest dude ever. He deserved a lot longer, but he really made the most of his time. Reminds me me of the quote from the brilliant UK rally driver, Colin McRae: (who also died tragically young) "You're here for a good time, not a long time." RIP Steve
I SAW HIM IN PERSON WHEN HE WAS FILMING HIS FAMOUS CAR CHASE IN BULLITT DOWN THE MOUNTAIN IN SF. MY FATHER TOOK ME THERE AND WERE STANDING ABOUT 30 FEET FROM HIM. WOW! THERE WAS STEVE MCQUEEN- HE SEEMED LIKE A REGULAR GUY.! THE GOOD DIE YOUNG!
I lived just up further on Army Street as a kid of 10 when they filmed the start of THE CHASE. As an adult, having been in the movie business since age 15, I have worked with people who knew and worked with Steve McQueen ...
... and ultimately, all of them, to a T -- said in essence, 'He didn't suffer fools easily ...'
Rest well, Steve ... you are missed.
D.A.
This is One of the most beautiful and dedicated tributes ever to a Legend and a loved one.
❤️❤️❤️ There is a new book out that just came out about his life th-cam.com/video/HFBgzqxiXUQ/w-d-xo.html -- called "In HIs Own Words". That I recently shared a video about, you might be interested in!
it is 3 am in Santa Rosa California..im woken up after having had a dream of Steve McQueen and this page pops up on my computer..what a trip..like a message of some sort...well here i am paying tribute to the memory of a great actor and a real man..Barbara it is hard to lose such a person in life and even harder to fill the huge void..thank you for this tribute..Roberto Conem DiPietro
What a guy! He is missed by all forever
I remember watching Mr McQueen's TV series " Dead Or Alive " as a kid in India in the 50's. Came to Los Angeles 71' and lived in Hollywood ever since. I saw most of his pictures. He was nothing but a class act actor in my opinion. I still get teary eyed every time I see some of his old movies, especially Papillon, Great Escape, Magnificent 7, Bullitt, The Sand Pebbles, The Cincinnati Kid, Nevada Smith. Yes, he was great and a really " cool ". Thank you all immensely for posting on youtube.
Great movies. Great acting.
Beautiful remembrance of a husband named Steve, by his wife who seems to have loved him very much. Not an actor, not a "cool" guy, just her husband. Very, very touching.
At this moment I'm a grown man reduced to tears after watching this. Seeing these images what jumps from the page is that he was just a good ole boy with a talent few will ever know. Women swooned, men wanted to be him, or at least hang out with him. What I admire the most is that he lived his life the way he wanted to and never let his public image get in the way of who he really was inside. He never compromised that integrity. In the dictionary under Movie Star is a picture of Steve McQueen.
To cry sometimes don't mean you are weak it means you are a real person with a good heart 💓 my friend...
True
Also a known ADULTERER. Ask ALI
@@jimmysapien9961 Yep your right. But he did become a true christian late in his life, actually the old guy in the orange coveralls was a committed follower of Christ and Steve and him had many chats and Steve started to attend his church and stopped his wayward conduct.
Steve McQueen…surrendered his life to Jesus as his Savior before he knew he had cancer.
Steve wanted to witness and be a testimony of GODS AMAZING GRACE 🙌 Praise the Lord
Steve McQueen along with guys like John Wayne and those mentioned below were heroes to me as a kid. I'll never forget Steve on that Triumph motorcycle attempting to getaway from the German soldiers in The Great Escape, his part in The Magnificent Seven or the pilot of a WWII B-17 in The War Lover and, lets not forget Bullet or Gran Prix. Even now as I near 70 those memories stay with me. Thank you Steve.
Being a fellow Hoosier, I'm a big fan and it's so nice to see Steve in these family photos! He was an Everyman's Man. So much More than an Actor. Was like the Haley's Comet, burning bright past our eyes then disappearing. But not to be forgotten. Love your pick of Over the Rainbow by Iz. See You on the next plain Steve.
Steve McQueen was the world's coolest dude ever. RIP
charles farrell
And Paul Newman ....
& control freak
He would have been more cool if his father stayed.
Our mothers get us walking and our fathers show us the world, and tell us who we are
Clint Eastwood?
The ultimate cool, nobody compares
Every guy wants to be a Steve McQueen,,,,thanks for the memories,,,friend,,and thx Barbara for this,,,miss him too
I still remember the day I heard about his passing...it was so sad........Steve was truly an original.....
He did not pass. He died.
All time greatest actor and my hero. He's passing left a void that will never be filled by anybody else. RIP Steve.
Ils et parti trop jeune
Absolute legend !
Gone 32 years and still a legend!!!
Steve McQueen ... an enormous star at his day but even bigger in his passing, still regarded in the top 10 moneymaking film stars who have died thanks to Tag Heuer and a lot of other endorsements movies ... With historic credits movies like the “The Great Escape” ...”Bullet” ..”The a Magnificent Seven” .... “Pappillion” ... Steve is by far one of the greatest actors in our modern day Hollywood period. At one point even earning more than his role as the fire chief in the mega movie “The Towering Inferno” out doing Fred Astaire for a 20 minute on screen role ... we’ll never know where or how he got his Mesothelioma from maybe navy working with asbestos or in the racing suits and helmets ... but a great shame taken far to early of this vicious decease my own father lost his life to ..., you’re the man Steve always will be ;) thx Barbara A wonderful insight into the private life in the last years of this man’s amazing life ;) brilliant thank you 🙏🏻 cheers
I’ve been watching Steve in
Wanted Dead Or Alive starting with S1E1, great to see all the famous actors from so far back.
Gotta Love old Westerns
Super et très grand acteur de tous les temps Steve McQueen. One of the best or the best actor of cinema history
Didn't have a long life, but he lived every second of it..
Paul Walker legends never die
Longer than YOUR life will ever be and more.
He was a piece of shit for much of his life
The irony of your comment and your name.
Neither lived very long
@@tombryan1 the thing I pity about him. It seems like people have used him
Beautiful to watch, but very sad at the same time. A long time fan and miss him to this day. A wonderful actor, loved all of his movies.. Left this earth way too soon. Miss him xxx
Steve McQueen has always and always will be my favourite actor.
R.I.P. Steve,Gone but certainly not forgotten.
Barbara, if you ever see this, I want to thank you for loving my hero. There are few men I give that title to. I know you might still miss him terribly. Thank you for sharing these special pictures, doing everyday things, with me. I could only hope to live even a small bit of the life you both shared. Have a wonderful day. I truly am sorry for your loss. Always, Andy
Nice, very very nice ! My hero . Many thanks Barbara.
Something so special in steve's personality....
Remembering you today Steve, RIP brother and as always God Bless.
God bless you Steve and Rest in Peace.
Steve was one of a kind and their will never be another like him . Thank you For this Beautiful tribute to a Man that lived his life on his terms . SEMPER Fidelis Steve we will see you again on the other side. ! Godbbkess the McQueen family always
lovely tribute to a true star that we loved, and a man Barbara did. So glad to see this. He is missed, but I enjoy his movies over and over.
Thanks for the memories Barbara and Marshall
Beautiful tribute or instead a remembrance of your husband , it was a beautiful person
My beautiful wife never gave me a prob with other guys BUT said he was the only one she would leave me for..although it's too late for her now as he is long gone .But I do have something in common with him .I have ridden bikes since 57 ( had a 48 350 matchless then ) .I am 78 and on my 3rd Harley FXDWG. So will always admire him for his love of Bikes.
I knew Steve, he hung around my fathers gas station in Santa Paula, Ca along with Von Dutch who lived right across the street in an old school bus. Something very few people know about Steve is he was enormously generous $$$$ with disadvantaged children. Steve had a very unhappy childhood and he could never fathom why out of all the people on the planet earth he was chosen to be highly paid movie star. Consequently he gave a lot, and I mean a lot, of his money away to children's charities. Steve was by nature a very quite person, a real wall flower ... his real personality wasn't that quite charisma you see in the movies. So he gave the money away very quietly, without publicists taking a picture of him handing a check to someone, like many Hollywood celebrities do. By the way, when I knew him he'd put on a lot of weight and had a big bushy beard so no one recognized him ... he loved that no one recognized him and that they thought he was some bum hanging around the station ... if only they knew LOL !!!
+Rob Abreu Thanks for sharing this info.
u were lucky to know him.
Drewtazy
It wasn't for very long because then he stopped coming around. In hind site, maybe that's when he started to get ill. Steve at 1:26 drinking from his cup is the Steve I remember. If you ever speak with anyone about this tell them someone who knew Steve, albeit briefly, also knew he was enormously generous with his $$$, but he got no credit for it because he was so quite about it.
whats the address of the gas station, Thanks
Not there any more. It was at the very end of town where there was a dog leg in the road and the highway paralleling Santa Paula turned into a country road going to Fillmore. I think there is a car dealership there now.
Thank You so much for the still screen shots I took of the 'Steve" I Knew. I pitted next to him at the Elsinore Grand Prix and swapped parts back and forth like playing cards. I always loved the sound of the "twingle" [cut and rotated crank Triumph 500 twin.Made it fire both cyl at once. He Offered both times to pay my fees if I hadn't already payed them. I had, but thought highly of him because of that and a thousand other things. He made the Fonz look like a kindergartener by comparison !! RIP ! Keep the rubber side UP!!
He was the king of cool! ,,actors these days don’t even come close.
An absolutely wonderful tribute to a man who meant so much to many of us, good bye Steve, however you will not be forgotten!
for surexx
Steve legend.Love him always will.😭😭😭
He continues to be one of my most liked actors of all time. Very nice video. Thanks for sharing it with the TH-cam community.
More than a movie star, an ICON! The essance of uber COOL!
R I P Steve.
I lived on 8th st at the time. He was friends with our landlord. I remember the adults talking about Steve not coming back to Santa Paula. I didn't know why until years later. Steve loved Santa Paula and we love him back too.
Why didn't he come back?
That's what love is all about. Brilliant homage to Steve.
Thanks, this made my day..and will give me some more smiles as I get on my bike and head out for a lil' West Coast cruise in the next day or so.The Great Escape scenes with Steve in them are etched deep in my memory, as a kid they were the first film scenes Id ever seen with a bike being ridden well by somebody who knew their stuff. I know Bud Ekins did the famous jump scene but Steve even doubled as the German soldier chasing him on the bike! Im not a film maker but I just cant imagine anyone today that could do those scenes so well. He made it acceptable to be yourself, stay true to your bliss and maintain a cool demeanor without being a jerk.
Thanks Steve, RIP
I cried like a baby the day he died, he was a Mans Man. The King of Cool. 🤙🏼
Gone way too soon, a great talent who enjoyed life and loved every day with friends and family
the pics at 5.08 and 5.12 nearly made me cry
he looks so reserved and quiet there
A true patriot, one of a kind. We miss you Steve!
WTF? Patriot - how. He was an actor. A guy who has a rough childhood that made it big in Hollywood. He had flaws like anyone.
Motor man
You dont his history at all. He was a very mean person
Donald Myck
Patriot? IDK, but Steve enlisted in the United States Marine Corps in 1947
@@tombryan1 What did he do ?
Nice pics, thank you. My Triumph Thunderbird was black. Never jumped it :>) Steve and Barbara, with their small entourage, stopped in dad's Royal Oaks museum antique barn (an old hanger) during a trip around the country. He and dad talked antiques for an extended time. For many years after, dad still treasured his signed pictures with Steve.
Great Story B.G., thanks so much for sharing that with everyone!
A true man that I believe longed for a better life in the past. Men like him are Sadly a thing of the past.
Loved him to bits, annihilated me when he passed away RIP Steve
Will always be the King of Cool ....♥
Sophie Duvall pĺl
James Dean is the King of Cool
@@danelogan1532 actually, that's what they called Steve McQueen. James Dean was the rebel.
The manliest man who graced our screens didn’t need huge muscles, showed softness and comic timing. But the fire in the eyes and the athleticism, fearlessness, and a sense for the common folk shoots him past almost all other action hero’s/anti-hero’s. Clint Eastwood exceeded him in some qualities, but didn’t show the human touch often enough.
Still the legend... me from🇲🇾 love too..
What a grounded spirit waiting to be released. Took care of his family wasn't even a second thought. Went to Mexico for one last effort to beat cancer. It doesn't work but he was surrounded by his friends and family till the end. No one ever said life was fair, but live your best till the end and you won. These pictures are a wonderful tribute to his life. Rip my brother. Neal
Steve mqueen did not get the accolades he deserved/ tom horn is a masterpiece he could of made some brilliant later films but his legacy will last / steve mqueen forever ×××××
Nice words 😊
Thank you for posting this. He has always been and always will be my favourite television and movie star. And his star keeps shining in our hearts..
hard to believe it has been 30 years...........my favorite to this day...
sweet tribute.....
I agree with previous comment. Catches the essence of his last days/months. I'm so relieved that the old guy who taught him to fly introduced him to Christ and after attending his church received Christ. He's home safe and I'll see him. Thank God
Hey, when you see Steve, tell him I said hello. Also, would you please look up John Wayne and Humphrey Bogart and tell them I'm missing them as well. Thanks.
Thank goodness for that. Praise Our Lord.
Just read Greg laurie's book about Steve coming to Christ and its an incredible story.
Amen to that.
@Nobby Barnes or how about the millions of people currently living in slavery , not abject slavery , plain old fashioned slavery ... or the children born with aids , covered in flies and starving right now ... but what god really cares about , is if some spoiled elitist pig , catches a football and makes a touchdown , so people can watch it on tv and see them point to the sky in praise of himself , thanking the maker for blessing them ... all people have equal worth but some are more equal than others ... jesus said to his apostles , re: finding his lost sheep... do not go among the gentiles , I am not here for them ... gentiles being a hebrew term for "the nations" as in , anyone not a blood related member of the 12 tribes of israel ... this alone would specifically exclude most of you euro americans from ever entering heaven ... when his apostles asked , re: bringing his lost sheep home , what if they do not believe us , what if they will not listen ? ... jesus said, bring them here and slaughter them before me ... oh and love each other as I have loved you ... hahahahahaha ... jesus also said he did not come to change the old laws or prophecies and prophecies state, all will not be fulfilled until the end times, judgement day , the end of heaven and earth and a new heaven and earth taking their place , that is when the laws and prophecies will have served their purpose and can be put aside ... which clearly has not taken place , so all the old laws are still on the books , including , no gentiles allowed .. has nice day
I was shocked one day when a girl in her mid twenties said, " Who's Steve McQueen?" I replied he was a good looking man, actor, pilot, race car driver, loved motorcycles. Most of all he was cool!
What the hell would you expect from some dopy kid who thinks the universe began the day she was born, WTF?...
@@jeffsmith2022 You made a good point!
Thank you for this wonderful tribute. Just for the record: EVERY heterosexual girl in the universe was in love with Steve McQueen. he was a real free spirit and a truly manly man with very rugged and handsome features. I think Steve and Robert Mitchum might TIE at the top of the list of "Most Handsome Men of all time."
*How sad that Steve didn't live well into his 70's or 80's.(!) but he certainly lived his life to the fullest!*
Thank you very much for this beautiful collections of photos. His sweetness, intelligence and sense of humor really come through. I felt there was a meloncholy underlying his glee and joy for life. Such a talented actor with charisma and dedication to doing the best job possible. May he rest in peace.
On the last mile myself, hope to see ya - and tell barry sheene i want a chat - (A very touching vid, of the great man) Nick Short👍
Save me a place guys.
I’m closer to the end than the beginning 🤙🏼I thought Ali McGraw was his girl didn’t know about barbara
Perfect song, at start, to accompany this!!👍👍💖💕💓
Many thanks for this great video!!! Congrats!! You mean a lot in it!!!
Steve Mcqueen means a lot in my life from I was 17th and I saw the magnificient seven!!
Great actor - interesting character. I've flown into Santa Paula a few times and stood by his hangar. Wherever you are now - I hope you're happy Steve.
A beautiful tribute to one of the screens true icons.
Bless you for sharing these remarkable and personal images
Many Thanks.
looks like the only actor you could sit with and have a drink with
Steve was and still is a hero of mine. Put him right up there with Mickey Mantle, John Lennon, Bob Dylan, JFK, Bobby Kennedy, and my dad Bill.
Kennedy’s? 😝
Exelente.....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Steve McQueen un actor GENIAL.
Un gran documental muy pero muy sentimental, me emocioné.
Remember Steve Mc Queen today on the 7th of November 40th annverisary. God bless you Steve.
beautiful image's and a great tribute to Steve, love the choice of music too,
here's to all your blue skies Steve, happy trails and wide horizon's to you forever and a day.
My favorite actor. Loved his TV movies "Wanted"!?
Can't believe it's been more than a third of a century since McQueen died. He had so many good movies, but Tom Horn is a contender for his best.
Happy 94th birthday Steve. Rest easy icon.
The great man and actor. My N1 forever 🙏🏻
What an enigma was Steve ! Every movie I saw him in, created something inside of me. Then time eats away at even the best of us just to show us we are merely the dust from which we came. Thankfully the memories we make & leave behind are made of sterner stuff. Steve, you & those blue eyes, your smile that could light up a whole room & the fantasies you allowed us to escape to, shall never be forgotten.
Somewhere over the Rainbow, your eyes colour the sky, your smile, warms the sun. And, blue birds indeed fly. As surely as will I. 😊🎉 And a lovely tribute to a stunning legend. Thanks so much. ❤
What a great man Steve was. Definitely one of my favorite actors and role models.
The real deal. Actors today can't hold a candle
DONT OVERDO IT.I ALSO LIKED PAUL NEWMAN,ETC,JUST SAYIN..
Henry McCarty dude don’t get carried away , steve was good for his day but he could t hold a candle to decaprio , Leo is the best actor , by far and away , I grew up watching McQueen and all the other greats , Lee Marvin was a great actor he was better than McQueen , but life is full of opinions
Every child deserves love, and we all have a negative side and a positive side, and Steve positive side out beat the negative side. He gave us so much joy through his works. It is sad to see how he died, but how he lived made me happy, what a wonderful person he was and beautiful children, may he continue to rest in peace. My husband love love the movie Bullitt.
Miss u Steve.
Steve was a good man.I met him at an air show in Porterville, years ago. He never passed a child without bending down and saying hello.
42 years now ..seems like yesterday .looking down on us thinking your not having as good time as I did ..😢.Steve McQueen
miss that guy!
Steve McQueen, une légende, un grand acteur et un grand Monsieur.

@@SadieSuch Oh, thank you, that is so nice of you. This is new to me, I will definitely look at this.
Magnifique film. Steve avait l'air si heureux avec Barbara... Merci
The music goes so well with the pictures, never delete this video please :)
It's Junk, by Paul McCartney, great song.
Yes, and 'Over The Rainbow' by Israel Kamakawiwo'ole, so touching. I've been reading Steve's biography, at the end of his life he became at peace with himself and settled, I just love that, I love looking at the Santa Paula pictures :) I can identify with his childhood, it does affect you tremendously. He was very intelligent, not in an academic way, and a fascinating person.
LEGENDARY!!!!! Love Every Movie He Ever Made!!!!
