"Steve" McQueen
Terrence Steven "Steve" McQueen (March 24, 1930 – November 7, 1980) was a movie actor. He was 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. McQueen received an Academy Award nomination for his role in The Sand Pebbles. His other popular films include The Magnificent Seven, The Great Escape, The Thomas Crown Affair, Bullitt, The Getaway, Papillon, and The Towering Inferno. In 1974, he became the highest-paid movie star in the world.
He 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. He is recognized for performing many of his own stunts, especially the majority of the stunt driving during the high-speed chase scene in Bullitt.

Early life
McQueen was born in Beech Grove, Indiana. His father was a stunt pilot for a barnstorming flying circus, who abandoned McQueen and his mother when McQueen was six months old. McQueen was raised as a Roman Catholic. Sadly his mother was a  rebellious alcoholic. She was unable to cope with bringing up Steve so she left him with her parents. At the age of eight, he was taken back by his mother and lived with her and her new husband in Indianapolis.

McQueen, who  dyslexic and partially deaf as a result of a childhood ear infection and did not adjust well to his new life. Within a couple of years he was running with a street gang and committing acts of petty crime. Unable to control McQueen's behavior, his mother sent him back to her parents.
Due to his ongoing poor behaviour Steve mc Queen was moved to the Junior Boys Republic in Chino,California.

He drifted from job to job. He worked as a janitor in a brothel, as an oil rigger, as a trinket salesman in a carnival, and as a lumberjack.

In 1947, McQueen joined the United States Marine Corps and was quickly promoted to Private First Class. Initially, he reverted to his prior rebelliousness, and as a result was demoted to private seven times. After this, McQueen resolved to focus his energies on self-improvement and embraced the Marines' discipline. He saved the lives of five other Marines during an Arctic exercise, pulling them from a tank before it broke through ice into the sea.

Steve Mc Queen Moved in to Movies and televsion and had many significant roles. However,  he was also known for his prolific drug use, a heavy cigarette smoker and he sometimes drank to excess.

BECOMING A CHRISTIAN
McQueen learned in 1979 that he had a massive tumor on his right lung. It was mesothelioma, a rare form of cancer.
As a result he began to take stock of his life, and to look for the answers and for the hope he had not found during his lifetime. He wanted to know what came next and was yearning for hope in the "beyond." Both his third wife Barbara Minty and his flying instructor Sammy Mason encouraged him in his spiritual search.

McQueen eventually made it to a Billy Graham crusade. By the end of the meeting, Steve McQueen had given his heart to Jesus Christ. He still had many questions, though, and he sent word through one of the evangelists he wanted to meet with Billy Graham. They were able to meet in a limousine on the way to the airport.

McQueen told Graham be believed Jesus was the Son of God and he had put his trust there, but he had many questions about the scriptures. Most importantly, McQueen wanted to know how could he be sure heaven awaited him. Graham turned his Bible to Titus 1 verse 2: "In hope of eternal life, which God, WHO CANNOT LIE, promised before the world began..."

The was the verse he had longed to hear. McQueen was excited and asked, "What was that verse again?" and told Graham he needed a pencil and some paper so he could write down the verse. Billy Graham instead gave Steve McQueen his Bible.

Some time after this Steve went to Mexico for some experimental cancer treatments. He died there... but that was not the end of Steve McQueen. They found his Bible in his hands, turned to Titus chapter 1 and verse 2, with his finger laid on top of that verse, his future sealed by God, WHO CANNOT LIE.

Steve became a member of Ventura Missionary Church
