ONLY 30 COPIES LEFT!
By Marshall Terrill. Steve McQueen: A Tribute to the
King of Cool
, tells the actor's story in chronological order through the eyes
of those who knew him best: family, friends, co-stars, business associates,
acquaintances and adoring fans from around the globe. Written in passage form,
each person brings a different view to the man and legend, presenting him in an
unsurpassed 360-degree perspective.
'It's unique in its presentation because it reads like a biography, but it's
really a photo and tribute book', Terrill said, who has spent nearly three
years compiling the information. There's really nothing else on the market
quite like it. 'I know it will please McQueen fans'. Accompanying the 200
passages are hundreds of photos taken of McQueen throughout his life and movie
career, many seen here for the first time, as well as personal items, documents
and movie memorabilia. The book will includes a foreword by Barbara McQueen, a
Steve McQueen family tree, quotes by several Hollywood luminaries.
The Special Edition is limited to 2000 numbered copies, each in a slipcase,
signed by both Marshall Terrill and Barbara McQueen. It includes a CD of a recording
of a lecture given by Steve McQueen at Loyola Marymount University in 1978,
where he talked about the making of An Enemy of the People, and afterwards took
questions from the audience. Author Marshall Terrill, who spent three years
compiling the information for this book, is a film, sports and music writer and
the author of more than a dozen books, including best-selling biographies of
Steve McQueen, Elvis Presley and Pete Maravich. Three of his books are in
development to be made into movies.
Steve McQueen: A Tribute to the King of Cool
In the interest of "full disclosure" let me
say up front that I had the privilege to be selected as a
"contributor" to Marshall Terrill's new book, "Steve
McQueen....The King of Cool". I knew McQueen only briefly during the making
of the film "The Towering Inferno", released in 1974. I was then a
Captain on the Los Angeles City Fire Department (later Chief Officer) and was
hired to instruct McQueen in the use of a Rescue Harness I was then developing
for the fire department, which was used in the helicopter rescues sequences in
the film. Many years later the author heard of an interview that McQueen had
given me for the LAFD's monthly magazine and it is also included in the book.
Marshall's new book is a fantastic illustrated biography of McQueen and
certainly exceeded my expectations and I recommend it without reservation to
those who love films and especially are interested in one of the most
charismatic film actors of the 70's and 80's, or for that matter, any OTHER
period in the history of motion pictures. I found McQueen to be an admirable
"man's man" but there is little question that the "Ladies Loved
Him TOO!" s/Richard W.Baker Sr., Battalion Chief, Ref. LAFD
