Quick quotes
This book showed me the real side of Steve McQueen. Not being into celebrities I never looked into the man and what he accomplished. I was quite surprised. He wasn’t a playboy racecar driver but a down-to-earth motorhead.
McQueen brought his love of motorcycles into his movies like The Great Escape, where is did his own riding and all but one of his stunts.
