Steve McQueen: A Life in Pictures

Cover of the book My Husband, My Friend - A Memoir

by Neile McQueen Toffel

The Actors Studio, New York where Steve McQueen trained during the 1950's.

McQueen auditioned using a Clifford Odets play called "Golden Boy" (park bench scene).

The Lyceum Theatre, Broadway NY where McQueen performed in "A Hateful Of Rain."

Opposite the Lyceum Theatre, McQueen would eat at Downies, where he met Neille Adams..... his future wife.

In the 1986  book 'My Husband, My Friend'  Neile states that they lived at 1, Chester  Square during the filming of THE WAR LOVER (page112).

I have recently  purchased and read Marshall Terrill's book, 'Steve McQueen - A Tribute to  the King of Cool and on page 90 there is a copy of a letter Steve wrote to Hedda re: missing 'California very  much' with the address at the top of the page reading : 80, Chester Square,  London S.W.1 (5th December 1961).

 

This site is an attempt to gather images and thoughts about the region Steve McQueen lived in during the filming of the 1971 Le Mans film quoting brief passages for the purposes of review and so bring these images alive.......
