Steve McQueen


Steve McQueen was the "King of Cool." He was one of the few guys that both girls and guys liked. I mean, think about it in today's terms. Girls like Brad Pitt for his looks, but you don't hear a lot of guys raving about Troy.

On the other hand, Steve McQueen was idolized by most men and women at the time.

He starred in such guy classics as The Magnificent Seven, The Great Escape, Bullitt and Papillon, to name a few.

He was...and continues to be...the ultimate guy's guy.

Other reasons he should be in the Tayster Hall of Fame:

  1. He served in the U.S. Marine Corps
  2. He raced cars and motorcycles.
  3. He did most of his own stunts.
  4. He was a certified pilot.
  5. He was trained in martial arts by Bruce Lee and Chuck Norris. In fact, Steve was a pallbearer at Bruce Lee's funeral.
  6. 2005 Ford Mustang.
  7. He was married to Ali MacGraw.

Reasons he shouldn't be in the Hall of Fame:
  1. He was mentioned in an R.E.M. song. ("Electrolite")
