Terrence Steven "Steve" McQueen (March 24, 1930 – November 7, 1980) was an American movie actor nicknamed "The King of Cool".
His "anti-hero" persona, which he developed at the height of the Vietnam counterculture, made him one of the top box-office draws of the 1960s and 1970s.
After appearing in the 1974 film The Towering Inferno, he became the highest paid movie star in the world.
Although McQueen was combative with directors and producers, his popularity put him in high demand and enabled him to command large salaries.
Steve McQueen was an avid racer of both motorcycles and cars. While he studied acting, he supported himself partly by competing in weekend motorcycle races and bought his first motorcycle with his winnings.
Steve McQueen is recognized for performing many of his own stunts, especially the majority of the stunt driving during the high-speed chase scene in Bullitt.
Additionally, McQueen designed and patented a bucket seat for race cars.
