Steve McQueen : the salvation of an American icon Cover Image

Steve McQueen : the salvation of an American icon / Greg Laurie with Marshall Terrill.

Laurie, Greg, (author.). Terrill, Marshall, (author.).

Summary:

McQueen was a complex, contradictory man who lived the same way he drove his motorcycles and cars: fearlessly, ruthlessly and at top speed. After a lifetime of fast cars, women and drugs, McQueen took a surprising detour. In this book, Laurie tells of the dramatic life-change for the actor in the spring of 1979 - six months before McQueen was diagnosed with terminal cancer.
