McQueen, Steve. (1930 - 1980). Signed Barechested Photograph of "The King of Cool". Rare signed photograph of one of the most revered actors of his generation, an Oscar-nominated performer who helped define the meaning of “cool” and who is remembered nearly as much for his wild antics and lifestyle and for his roles in Papillon, Bullitt, The Thomas Crown Affair, The Sand Pebbles, The Cincinnati Kid, The Great Escape, and The Magnificent Seven. Vintage black and white still photo of McQueen in the 1965 American drama "Baby the Rain Must Fall," signed and inscribed "To Paul - / Thanks from/ Steve McQueen." Three tiny pin holes and dings to corners, else very fine condition. 8 x 10 inches (20.3 x 25.4 cm.). An uncommon example from a Hollywood legend quite elusive in signed photos!
Based on the 1954 Horton Foote play The Traveling Lady, the 1965 American drama film was directed by Robert Mulligan and starred Lee Remick, Don Murray and Steve Mcqueen, who plays Henry Thomas, a somewhat irresponsible rockabilly singer/guitarist, who has recently been released from prison after serving time for stabbing a man during a drunken brawl.
From the collection of Paul McMahon, a critic, photographer and artist who worked for more than 13 years touring with Marlene Dietrich as the icon’s stage manager, announcer, dresser, secretary and escort, and later spent 25 years as an arts and entertainment reviewer and photographer with Gay Community News, Esplanade, Tommy’s Connection, The Mirror, Bay Windows and other publications.
