The sadness of not feeling loved as a boy and searching for it his whole life..RIP Steve McQueen..You are remembered as a great actor and showed kindness for that Boy's home you were sent to..

I love the style in which Jerry Skinner produced this video. His narration is so unique, not trying to impress anyone - just trying to give honor where honor is due, and show respect to people (and their surviving relatives) of the joy their work brought so many of us. First class Mr. Skinner!

One of my favorite actors ,another gone to soon !! Thanks for a great Documentary. He overcome a lot of obstacles in his life ! RIP Steve McQueen

What a wonderful and gentle narration voice, have watched a few now and enjoyed them all very respectfully done.

Steve should have received an Oscar for his performance in Papillion. He did a an outstanding job as did Dustin Hoffman. I believe that film was underrated.

On 09/18/2019 as a Lyft driver I had the pleasure of meeting a nice, handsome fella. He asked if he could ride on the front seat, said he was on his way to pick up his dog pet at a veterinarian clinic in Santa Monica Ca. I couldn't help noticing familiar face features so I asked if he was an actor, yes! he replied. Steven McQueen was his name, the grandson of the GREAT Steve McQueen!!! He produced an Id card. He didn't have to, the resemblance is amazing. Later at home I told my family, then I Google him and sure enough that was the same nice handsome fella I met earlier!! Just felt like sharing this fine encounter I had. Thanks

Thanks for bringing light to his life. He was one of my favorites....

He really was the King of Cool. Being cool isn't an act, it's a life style. Thank you for answering so many questions I had about my childhood Hero Steve McQueen!

Jerry Skinner has the best documentary voice I’ve ever heard . Great videos that bring back such fond memories of my youth . Thanks so much, Jerry .

I've been around for 7 decades & I can say Steve was my favorite actor of all time. I have everyone of his movie DVDs.

Along with male actors John Wayne, Yul Brenner, Paul Newman, Sean Connery, Humphrey Bogart, Spencer Tracy, Marlon Brando, Jimmy Stewart, Robert Redford, James Cagney, Gene Hackman, etc al, Steve McQueen could carry a moderate film and make it a classic by his mere presence in it. Truly the personification of a 'Movie Star'. To pass at 50 is beyond tragic. RIP, Steve and thank you for the legacy of your incredible work.

Bruce Lee loved Steve. Bruce always said the most impressive thing about S.M. was the respect his friends would get after being introduced by Steve. "This is my friend Bruce" that was enough.

Steve was one of my favorite actor, so sorry he died so young.

Sir your bios are extremely informative and most enjoyable of any I've heard!

I love listening to Jerry!!! His biographies are fantastic, but it is his narration that makes these golden.

I hope that Steve now knows that we ALL loved him. RIP.

This is one of the best Documentary of Steve McQueen I have seen. He is missed and loved by many. Thank you Jerry for this heart felt journey.

Lots of pain in Steve McQueens childhood not easy even for a legend, RIP McQueen the true king of COOL !

God bless you Mr. Skinner for your uploads on some of Hollywood's legends! I like your country voice too, with all respect. This is one of my favorites! Steve McQueen was awesome!

The Great Escape. My favorite McQueen movie. Steve, that Army Air Corps leather jacket, that baggy blue sweatshirt, cut off below the elbows.....and of course, that motorcycle.

Wow... I didnt know about the Manson close call..I thought I knew everything about that. Once again...nice job Jerry...Steve would have been proud of t your work on this biography .

Couldn't ask for a better opening. Steve McQueen was "The King of Cool."

Thank you Mr. Skinner. You are a great biographer. What I appreciate is your thoughtful, kind, and humble style of communicating. ❤️

Steve Mcqueen was a rare prince of a human. He defined cool and is fondly remembered.

Steve had a rough and difficult life. It's amazing how his life worked out. The odds did not favor him, but he overcame many obstacles to triumph in the end. Too bad he never got an Oscar for Sand Pebbles or Bullitt.

Calm, composed yet rusty with his looks. One of his kind. Well remembered for his best performance in Papillon. RIP Steve.

The BLOB. My first and forever favorite sci-fi movie. I LOVE THE BLOB!!!!

McQueen loved motorcycles and dune buggies. Used to see him daily (almost) terrorizing the streets of Palm Springs and on the sand dunes of the Cathedral City area on Sundays when he was in town. He was also a frequent visitor to Idyllwild were he had a favorite coffee shop. He would ride one of his twenty-five motorcycles to Idyllwild in the snow.

Gone way before his time he was a good man!! Never will be forgotten rest in peace Mr.McQueen

Such a sad story; we look at these celebrities & maybe envy their lives but fame isn't everything. You did another great story for us, Jerry; thank you.

I remember meeting Steve McQueen back in 1977 when I was working as a life guard at the Beverly Wishire Hotel and he was actually living there at the hotel after his divorce. He loved his motorcycle and would bring it up to his room on the service elevator and not leave it parked down in the garage. Interesting good dude, it was an honor meeting him. Sad he passed so young..

Once again, thank you. Steve was a good guy.

Jerry i really like your style, i have watched many of your narrations and i have enjoyed every one of them. Many thanks for posting another 5 star documentary.

You did such a heartwarming tribute. Thank you Jerry.

I saw steve mcqeen on the set of "The Hunter" . I was hired by the casting company as an extra for the filming. When I saw Steve up close for the first time , he was walking past meto get some lunch. So as much as I wanted to ask for an autograph I just looked and smiled at him . Well , I was surprised to see he gave me the biggest smile right back ! I saw the most beautiful aqua blue eyes I had ever seen . I had heard he was dying of cancer and that he was drinking lots of fruit juices to see if it would help overcome cancer . I was at marina towers when the film company dropped a car into the river . Later the next day , we filmed a car scene . Unfortunately my only job was to walk across the street after the racing scene was shot . So I still have a pay stub from my work on this film . It was wonderful and exciting being on the set and a memorable experience, I will never forget. I was lucky enough to See his gorgeous face before he left this world. A GREAT ACTOR ! GOD BLESS HIS HEART !

Steve McQueen was the coolest. Mr. Skinner, you do a great job with your research.

You forgot "Bullet" one of McQueen's best stunts and still the best chase scene ever!

Thanks Jerry it was heart felt watching his bio so miss those days I was 18 those days at Buds shop.

A sad ending for a great actor, sportsman, and human being...he will always be remembered.

I was always wondering who the guy with the cool demeanor in the movie Magnificent Seven was...and watching this confirmed it! He was definitely the king of cool :)

A fantastic dedication to one of my favorite actors! To this day one of my favorite movies is Bullitt! I just love the driving scene that's way beyond what the movies were back when Bullitt was produced. Thanks so much for your research you've put into Steve McQueen's life, starting with his childhood (quite interesting) to the end, with alternative medical treatment.

A real talent . The Sand Peebles is one of my favorite moves. He was a natural actor no pretense.He was a force to to be reckoned with. A huge talent .One more great actor who could have won an Oscar.

this was my dad's favorite actor. I can understand why. he was so cool

Your narrative and quaintness are charming . Keep it up!

"You're a MASTER STORYTELLER!!!!! Loved listening.....GREAT JOB!!! ******THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES.

What value you extended to one life and respectable...They had us all convinced the man was a no account scoundrel his whole life with no one to love him...Many people personal to him loved him which is redeeming in most peoples eyes.....Your voice was lulling me..You did an excellent job all around Thankyou

Truly one of the nicest men I ever met. He was shy off camera. Reserved on camera but an actor.

Thank you for making all of these... they are wonderful tributes to all of them and a reminder of their accomplishments. 50 years old for Steve... he sure accomplished a lot. Life is short.

I was living in the Denver area at the time of his death. I was working on my '67 Mustang Coupe, installing a Boss 302 mated w/ an M22 top-loader, when the news report came over the FM radio. Almost made me cry, 'cause I was building that Mustang in homage to his Bullet version, right down to the same color. I know his had a 428, but I figured the Boss 302 made up for some of C.I. difference. Very fun car that would pull 12 second quarters all day long. The M22 w/ the Hurst shifter was so much quicker than the original T-10 Ford mated the Boss to.

I knew Steve, briefly, as he lived in Santa Paula, Ca and hung out with a friend, Von Dutch, at my fathers gas station on the other side of town. What no one says about Steve was that he was ENORMOUSLY GENEROUS $$$ with his money, especially charities for disadvantaged children. He gets no credit for it because he gave his money away very quietly, not like celebrities now days who have their agent take a picture of them handing a check to a crippled veteran. FYI, the asbestos causing his mesothelioma was likely caused by a brief but intense exposure he received to asbestos while in the Marine Corp on a work duty gutting the inside of an old WWII Liberty Ship. To finish a thought, I do not know for a fact that he left that $200,000 to Boys Camp, but from what I know he was certainly capable of gifting it to them, AND having also given away a whole lot more over the course of his life, all very quietly of course. That was Steve for you, the "King of (quite) Cool".

Thank you Jerry for this short but affirmative video. I always loved and admired Steve for his uniqueness in personality and attitude. Too bad he had to depart so untimely.

Thank you, Mr. Skinner. I always enjoy your coverage of so many actors that I grew up seeing on TV and at the movies. All the best to you.

He developed Mesothelioma, something my father has recently been diagnosed with, 60 years after serving in the US navy in Korea. Ships were loaded with asbestos.

This was soooooo good! Thanks soooooo much! Just saw BABY THE RAIN MUST Fall last night.... So I was wondering about him. He had such a sadness about his face. It's all I could focus on in the movie. Thanks again. GREAT JOB,

Thanks for putting this memorable documentary together. What a life. Great story telling.

Thank you so much for doing all this work, and telling the story, Jerry.

Thank you for this Jerry. You did a wonderful job on this with this story. Steve's story is kind of a haunting one to hear about, but it left me with a better knowledge and appreciation for what Steve went through in his years. He has always been one of my favorite actors!

I loved Steve McQueen because remind me so much of what Denzel Washington is today. And that is one man that stands out and you know who he is, just like Bronson Eastwood Charlton Heston excetera excetera. One thing you fail to mention was his love for martial arts and his teacher Bruce Lee to him that was very important. Also you forgot to mention the movie Bullet which is one of my top Steve McQueen movies.

Steve McQueen was AWESOME !!!! He was one of my childhood heroes. I saw the "Blob" when it first hit the silver screen. I was around 9 years old and that movie scared the shit out of me LOL. I was watching for the Blob to crawl out from under my bed for weeks.

Mr. Skinner...LOVE ALL your videos!!! Thank you for this one...I feel I know my favorite actor of all time...keep up the FANTASTIC work sir~~~

I really loved and admire this man, loved most of his movies. RIP Amigo one day we will meet

Listening this documentary is like a song, the voice is very powerfull.

I didn't know that he died so young, tragic, very informative documentary. He was one of my favorite actors, and he is missed.

Thank you for this video, Love Steve McQueen

Tough beginning and sad end to the life of one of my favorite actors.

Great video. Thanks for putting it together Jerry.

Many thanks for the bio. You mentioned many facts that I was not aware of. To this day Steve McQ still remains my all-time fav actor.

He was an excellent actor and a man's man. Glad to know he was a better father to his children than his father was to him. I hope he was content when he died.

We all forget the Thomas Crown affair . He assured life but he lived it will . He will always be one of my favorites

Paul Harvey used to say, "And now for the rest of the story." He knew that what happens after famous episodes, or behind the scenes during them, offer fascinating perspectives. So often we don't get to know how lives played out for these famous people. So, Mr. Skinner, I applaud your efforts. In the case of Mr. McQueen I had always heard a rather disparaging story of Mr. McQueen going to Mexico for unapproved treatments. Yet, Mr. Skinner reveals that the behavior was quite understandable given Mr. McQueen's options. While famous people are often isolated as icons, they are human beings - often struggling with the same kinds of problems that affect the rest of us. Thanks again Jerry.

Thank you for sharing, a great actor taken way too soon by that terrible disease. God bless.

Thank you Mr Skinner. It is sad that back then they didn't know how to treat mesothelioma. I've lived with it both in my lung & abdomen for 8 years. During some of that time I've been in remission.

I've just came across your bio's - they're very good. Thanks for uploading.

Thanks for the great video Steve, was one of my favorites.

Steve McQueen was one off my favorite actors. Great movies. Plus he was cute.

Amazing video! This is the best Steve McQueen tribute I've seen. Reminds me of my dad, he was a big Steve McQueen fan. Thanks for making it, it made me happy:)

Another very informative video and what a Great Star Steve McQueen was and always will be. They don't make them like that anymore. Thanks again for posting!!

Thank you very much Jerry! You did a great job on your narration! Very well done

thank you mr skinner for your thoughtful and insightful vids, love your voice

Once again, an excellent video

Outstanding job on this video.

Great job yet again!!! You are the best there is

Thank you thank you for this video. He was always a hero to me and I am British and 68 years old in 2016.

Nice Job Jerry ... excellent video , you have honored Steve and I'm sure he would thank you ...cheers .. :)

As usual brilliantly researched. Thankyou.

He is one of my all-time favs. He was taken much too soon. Loved the original Magnificent 7 & that great cast.

What a superb actor, I never missed his movies. The Sandpebbles was my favorite,... he, like so many, left us way to soon...what a shame..😔

Bullet was a fine movie as well. Seemed most of his family members died at a young age. R.I.P. Steve McQueen, you are home now.

What a good man! Wanted Dead or Alive...I Love It!

My fondest memories are watching Bullet,The Hunter and the Great Escape with my dad. Classic movies. Another great Jerry Skinner video.

Of all of the sad stories I've seen on famous Actors, this has to be up at the top of the list. Bless his heart. I hope he finally found the love and acceptance he so desperately sought out while here on earth. Rest in peace Mr. Queen, we loved you from afar and still do. And you are not forgotten.

Warmest Greetings from Bangkok, Thailand. Hello Jerry, I trust your well, interesting account of Steve Mc. Queen's life, I'm originally from Chelmsford, Essex. England & remember watching many Steve Mc. Queen movies, back in the late 60's early 70's, back home. Those were the days when most actors actually did most of there own stunts, Steve was a fabulous actor & was well respected in England. Thanks so much for posting, god bless all those fabulous actors in the US, during the golden years, gone but not forgotten. All the very best. Congrats my friend.

Thank you, Jerry. I knew that Steve McQueen had died but I really had no idea about where, when, how, or why. I do appreciate your efforts.

ThankYou Very Much for this !

Thank you for sharing this with us. Thank you Mr. Skinner😉💐

Jerry has an ability to turn out these well thought out and researched clips in a style entirely his own. You just can't fault him. Many thanks for yet another great clip.

Just shortly before his first trip to Mexico, He and his wife stopped in at the Royal Oaks Museum Antiques in Crystal Lake Ill. He wanted the owner to open the museum on a day after hours. The owner was told by his kids, that Steve McQueen wanted to see some antiques. The owner, Always wearing a Stetson and matching boots with the pants cuffs tucked in, not being interested in current Hollywood, said who the h--- is Steve McQueen? After the kids explained and the private tour had been completed, Steve bought some toys, he, his wife, his stuntman and the owner sat and talked for another hour or so about the coming trip to Mexico. The owner proudly told everyone from that day forward, that he knew Steve McQueen. The owner of the museum, was my father.

It's so very interesting how you do your reports bio/info... I do like. Your voice is so very calming... nothing too crass or over the top. The Blob and Magnificent Seven... are two of my favorites.

And Jerry let me say - the music and your southern accent is so relaxing. Thank you!!!

I love your videos, they are both entertaining and enlightening...
