Here is the 1946 Boys Republic baseball team.

In his earliest known photo, a 16-year-old Steve McQueen is seated on the top row, fifth from the right or in the center of the top row.

He often credited the reform school for turning his life around and paid frequent visits to youth to encourage them.

McQueen also established an annual scholarship in his name and bequeathed $200,000 to them in death.

In return the Boys Republic built a recreation center in his honor.

Gia Scala

While still attending STELLA ADLER's school in New York, McQueen dated GIA SCALA from 1952 to 1954.

 

"That she liked her acting teacher and the students in her class; especially a certain fellow who she thought was interesting; interesting because of how he delivers a scene in class. When Gia asked him how he makes it real, he told her that he mentally takes the scene apart, and then reconstructs the phasing. He does it to own what he says and how it was said." (p.129)

 

"In acting classes he was well liked, and that Stella Adler did not accept everyone who applied to her classes, she was very particular." (p.130)

 

"And on the weekends we go to a place in Long Island...where he races motorcycles. At first he did it for fun, but when the owners of the Speedway noticed how daring he was, now they pay him one hundred dollars a week to race!" (p.131)

 

"Gia thought he was cool, it was because he was exciting."(p.133)

 

"He seemed a bit on the wild side because he drove a motorcycle with Gia riding on the back...And Gia had mentioned in her letters that her Cool man had talked about marriage." (p.134)
 

In late 1955 at the age of 25, McQueen left New York and headed for California, where he moved into a house on Vestal Avenue in the Echo Park area, seeking acting jobs in Hollywood.

 

On November 2nd, 1956 he married actress Neile Adams, with whom he had a daughter,

“ Oh great … Before the start of filming he wanted to built a Motocross Track in front of this castle … he just bought a Husqvarna 400 from the factory in Sweden … lucky Peter Samuelson talked him out of this idea … finally I bought the Husky from him …”
