One of a kind, that's for sure.

My 92 year old Dad was a Marine and served in Korea during the war. Steve McQueen was and is his favorite actor and The Sand Pebbles is his favorite movie. He watches that movie at least 3 or 4 times a year. I know the day is coming when he will be leaving this life and I will always cherish the memory of Steve McQueen and that movie because of him. Your father and my Dad are of the same breed of men that shall always be remembered. Steve McQueen was the best.

He seemed rather subdued though, this night.

Dorothy was murdered?

I never realized how well traveled John Daly was. The first contestant. He knew her name in arabic. Different times.

Dorothy was terminated by the deep state. Same that killed JFK

EDITH SYMMANS Get a life of your own.

Actually, McQueen was a real piece of work. Not a good person at all.

@@spencada I think she has a life of her own. Far removed from you.

its a shame STEVE died so young from that Mesothelioma , From the bio by his 1st wife , He breathed in asbestos for 7 mnths during his tour as merchant marine . It was proven that it takes many yrs to cause the cancer in lungs, such a tragedy

@@lisad2701 no he wasnt he gave a lot of his time and money to boys homes where he himself spent part of his youth.

I watch that show over and over on metv and grit, never get tired of that series, great actor!

Steve McQueen's career trajectory from TV western to top-drawer cinema was almost like Clint Eastwood's. Steve left us way too soon.

@@ralphadamo1857 Agree 100%. Clint played Rowdy Yates in the series "Rawhide". The 2 series started a year apart: Steve's in 1958 and Clint's in 1959. Both were great.

McQueens autopsy mentioned almost every bone in his body had been broken and with heavy smoking he was had to be terrific pain . Great actor and charismatic…gone to soon.

His break out role Was the Mag 7 Then the great E. Made him a hot commodity

Racing ist life, everything else is just waiting.

@Mookie Spindlehurst Newman - 2 time national champion, was a winner at Le Mons and won his last race at 83 years of age, plus being an award winning Broadway and movie star, director and producer who donated his time to student theater, treated women with respect and donated hundreds of millions to charity while being totally Cool (Hand Luke) throughout his career. Don't get any better.

@Mookie Spindlehurst He was mentioning Newman, not McQueen.

@@alansorensen5903 Actually Newman dumped his wife and kids to marry Joanne Woodward whom he had gotten pregnant during their affair.

I know, and everyone acted much more dignified then.

...because they (mostly) deserved it, unlike today.

💯 ❤

​@@no_handle_required👍👍👍

👍

Come On now. The world has never been an eden

I also enjoy Martin

One of my all time fav movies and Steve was gorgeous!♥️

Ya sé que esto es algo muy difícil de explicar, pero ¿podría decirme por qué encuentra "handsome" a McQueen? Admito que es muy simpático, pero....

So did the pyramid guide. Here is a unique instance of a left handed signature being written left to right -- no problems as left handed writers usually encounter.

James Coburn, Paul Newman. Marlon Brando

Nope otherwise he would have

@@dinahbrown902My sentiments exactly. Who is to say how much time we get?...God...

He was nominated but didn’t win

Steve McQueen received his only Academy Award nomination for this movie. Too bad he didn’t win. However, he did win several Golden Globe awards.

@Alfred Smuthers You and joey will have lots of time to do so...

Hopefully you make it on the side he's on xD

@@TheWhatever0077 I'm counting on it!😀🙏

He was excellent in that movie. Very well done.

@@stj971 I think he was playing a character that was supposed to be much younger because they would refer to him as kid. Steve was in his mid 30s at the time, but he still pulled it off; a credit to his acting ability.

I loved Bullitt. But the SP was good too.

@@michaelgasiciel9317 Both were excellent films. I'd include The Cincinnati Kid, Love with the Proper Stranger and The Getaway, among McQueen's best.

@@waynej2608 Bullitt? The Magnificent Seven?

Sand Pebbles was controversial when released, due to the manner of how the servicemen were portrayed. This was during the Vietnam War. It's not one of the movies that come to many people's mind whenever they bring up McQueen, but it should be. He was superb in the film. A very young Candice Bergen also appeared with him in the film.

He never made a bad movie.♥️♥️♥️

LOA1955 The quickest was still when they got Henry Fonda in two questions.

I remember the newspaper advertising blitz for "The Sand Pebbles." Like a tidal wave it was. Arlene knew about the New York premiere.

Agreed! A terrific Brennan imitation!

@@soulierinvestments One of my favorite movies with McQueen. He did a stand up job, portraying a sailor on a gunboat in China. Very memorable.

The good part was more time to talk with the guest.

Yes. The movie stars like Bacall, Hepburn, Bette Davis, Bob Mitchum, Marilyn Monroe, etc.always used "picture" when they talked about their work.

lucy bond Very true! He looked a real star in this programme. Him and Newman...and Redford. And Bacall...Hepburn...

Steve was way better than all of those others you mentioned. :)

repent obeyJesus Hmm...Bacall was a real star though. definitely in the top 10...

Yes ,she was. I never cared for her, though.Frank Burns

Mark Harrison or James Coburn

He was only that way in the media!!! In private he was one of Hollywood's bad boys!

The good news is that he met Billy Graham and he prayed to receive Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior! So, it was a good beginning...

@@mrkelly917o6 thats what I was gonna say! Thanks for saying that because when Billy Graham mentioned a top box office star who repented l knew he meant Steve and I try and tell everyone to do the same cause life here is short.

Classics.

Gary Williams Couldn’t agree more. Great movies

and Faya Dunaway is in BOTH of them! P.S. She scared me in "Mommie Dearest"(1981). P.S. Don't EVER let your "Mommie" catch you put on her makeup ...and this goes for you guys too!

@@honeywell5455 Faye wasn't in The Getaway, it was Ali MacGraw. Who McQueen would later marry.

The original Thomas Crowne Affair was far better than the remake. The chess scene was sexier than most movie scenes.

Barry Allen - you’re absolutely right

like George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon?

LOOOOOOOL. music and Hollywood industry are all buffoons, no talent bums LOOOOOL.

Yea too bad Mcqueen actually had no class.

So true!!

Agree. I think it's both Natalie's and Steve's best acting jobs. And they both were highly proficient actors.

Another great one.

I live in New York City. Once, a few years ago. I was having a conversation with a group of people on various topics. There was an older woman who sat nearby, and throughout our discourse, simply smiled and did not utter a word. Later found out, that the woman lived in Queens, and she was appreciating the conversation, because it was in English. A language not spoken very much in her neighborhood. She also liked the level of our talk, along with The topics. Good English is hard to come by these days.

Yo! Do ya 'as a beef wahth how we talk now?

@@briane173 nope i don

Not always

@@ellemathews9840 yes always unless ur a today's sheepie

@@davidgilmour5429 I've watched almost all of them . Most people didnt have a movie coming out for about a month. Some came just because.

What a great job!

CrazyWedz the show runners should have not allowed those type questions

No, not always I've seen many where they have been totally stumped

Absolutely. The fact that they were in town at that moment to coincide with the premiere of a big movie was a massive hint as to who they were. Too easy...

@@pattimaeda6097 Agreed.

He was imitating Walter Brennan.

That's a fact. He did _all_ the motorcycle scenes and stunts in _The Great Escape,_ and of course his chase through SF in that next-step-down-from-a-Shelby Mustang might've been his finest moment (if you don't count _Gran Prix)._

@@briane173 actually not ALL the stunts the motorcycle scene was shared By Steve’s recurring stuntman Bud Ekins and the same goes for bullitt (the parts where you don’t see Steve’s face it’s bud ekins) Steve’s wife nelie was adamant about having a stunt double even though Steve didn’t like having one

My mom and I and others worked on “Bullitt” with Mr.McQueen, and he was the sweetest man alive! He loved kids, I was younger than ten at the time and it was the summer of love in S.F. and the shoot was at SFO where us whippersnappers would play on the people movers and luggage handling systems. We had a ball! Mr. McQueen, was so patient with me when I asked him questions about his scenes where he gets shot, and how the squib in his hand was pressed to make the blood appear on his shirt.He went through dozens. Also, the glass that broke was made of sugar material, all so amazing. He even sent me a headshot! Swell man! 20:38

@@kathleenmichlin8616 That is fantastic. He seemed like a great nice man. What a great memory for you!

I miss Dorothy. It seems that many of the replacements, while pleasant, have no personality or charisma on screen.

Many feel the way you do but there is KZfaq and that's a way to time travel and visit the world from your home.

Yep and they went back home

"Soldier in the Rain" should be a classic. With Jackie Gleason, Tuesday Weld, and I'm pretty sure Blake Edwards co - wrote the screenplay.

I'm pretty sure Charles Manson was never on.

One person I am very surprised did not appear given that he lived in NY and appeared on CBS television quite a bit was Leonard Bernstein.

Marilyn Monroe was never on the show.

Marilyn Monroe was the greatest celebrity not to be on the show in my opinion!! She would have been the greatest bar none!!!!

Thank you-- it was driving me CRAZY trying to place what voice he was doing, but I knew I recognized it!

What's My Line? I still don't know how Arlene stumbled upon his identity.

Joe Postove Arlene Francis was very much an insider in the entertainment industry and started out as a female radio talk show host (very rare in those days) so when she heard the answer that the mystery guest was in a movie that was about to premiere that week, it would not take very much to guess who the mystery guest could be Plus, Steve McQueen was Hollywood's very first superstar and about 8 years after this appearance he became the highest paid actor in the world

badweetabix Steve McQueen Hollywood's first superstar? Clark Gable and Joan Crawford could have had him for dinner. i mean that in the Hollywood way.

Joe Postove Gables was a good actor and I'm not taking that away from him, but much of his fame was the old Hollywood studio propaganda which hyped many of the actors of that era. By earnings and number of "fans" due to the post war baby boomers, McQueen wins out hands down - McQueen was the first actor to be paid over $1 million a film and his estate upon his death was over $30 million which is over $70 million in today's money AND his name is still earning $7 million a year 35 years after his death. Can you say the same about Clark Gable?

You are missing WHY they keep guessing the famous actors. These shows pick actors who are premiering a new movie that week in New York. The panel reads a new movie opening that week and who stars in it. Over and over this happens. That's Jews for you. Always cheating. I've seen Joan Crawford, Elizabeth Taylor, Jane Fonda, and Woody Allen. All had new movies in New York opening sometimes that very night. Look for yourself. They ruin everything. Why am I the only one seeing this?

Praise the Lord!!

Good luck with that!

@@Yowza78 hope you and others turn to God as Steve McQueen did before he died because we all have little time left in this life. I look forward to seeing Steve McQueen and all my favorite stars, family and friends in heaven.

Cuánto meapilas por aquí.

Mediocrity rules the day. And absolutely no glamour to boot. Prefer the older ones myself.

guyfihi You're very welcome. But brace yourself, because the channel is currently under direct attack, on no legal grounds whatsoever, by Fremantle. It's in serious jeopardy and may not last much longer.

What's My Line? Sorry to hear that

+guyfihi I agree he had IT, taken from us too soon!

I fell in love with him, the first time I saw him. I was only 10 yrs old.. Nobody else comes close, and never will. I miss him. :'(

I've noticed that, too.

agreed i can only remember 3 episodes when they didnt & too bad Steve wasnt just visiting because the panel seemed clueless until they realized he was in the new picture in town

... except for when the MG was in a hit Broadway play, or was starring in a television show (preferably on CBS) or was a popular singer (they never guessed Julie London in her multiple appearances), or a star sports figure or a famous political figure. Bennett had said that it was a fun job and relatively easy money (no lines to learn or rehearsals to attend). But doesn't mean there was no preparation for the show. Dorothy was up to date on the entertainment world because of her column and Arlene because of her radio program. Bennett kept abreast of things no doubt in part because celebrities often write (w/ or w/o a ghost writer) books that sell, but also because he was competitive. Also he (and Martin when he was on as well as some of the other male panelists) were expected to provide sports expertise for the panel. It has also been revealed in interviews that the panelists would warm up before the show. Part of that was for one of them to think of an occupation and the others would try to guess it. The other part was that they would discuss who was likely to be the MG that evening. On a couple of occasions, I have heard Bennett or Arlene say, "Shall we say it all at once?"

Not always but mostly.

They didn’t guess the “nein” girl, Ann Southern 😎

Me TOO!!!!!

I love that film, they were all great in it.

Yes, great film. Both he and Natalie Wood turned in stellar performances.

Absolutely! Wood and McQueen starring in a picture concerning a topic not given much focus at that time.

They don't make films like that anymore

+Marc C One of Sam Peckinpah's best, even Ali McGraw's wretched acting couldn't ruin it.

Marc C I agree. My momma took us to the theater to see this when I was a young boy. She loved Steve McQueen. And Burt Reynolds.

@@RCGoetzke I thought Ali was real good in it. She and McQueen definitely had chemistry.

@@waynej2608 They sure did off the set. He was banging her soon after filming began, although she was married to producer, Robert Evans, and they had a one-year old son, Joshua Evans, at the time.

@@RCGoetzke That's showbiz.

yellowdeer 7 Steve ended up divorcing his wife, and marry Ali after that film.

Cool. I really enjoyed The Getaway, both were excellent in it. Also, the great Ben Johnson and Al Letieri. I think it's an undervalued film, from Sam Peckinpaugh.

+Robert G. I agree with you but he was also great in "Papillon".

+Mike Mast Absolutely! McQueen had a relatively short career, starring in about 25 movies from the late 1950s to 1980, but he was good in all of them. He was more of a movie star than an actor, but he had a great screen presence and stood out even in his mediocre pictures. He didn't have a lot of range, but he was excellent at what he played, the typical "cool" cat who oozed testosterone. Males wanted to be like him, while women wanted to be with him.

Nope. I LOVED him in Love With the Proper Stranger, co starring with Natalie Wood, another who left us too soon..:'(

The Sand Pebbles -- Steven McQueen nominated for best actor as Jake Holman. No doubt his best and most complicated role.

The sand pebble?? Papillon? His greatest movie was the towering inferno!

He died at age 50 because as a Marine, he removed asbestos insulation from pipes aboard ship when he was only 18. This was in the late 1940s when very few substances including cigarettes and nuclear blasts were considered to be wildly carcinogenic. The American Medical establishment either was ignorant or they did a good job at feigning ignorance.

ooOOHH...rraaHh!!!

@@dovbarleib3256 He spent a great deal of time going to Mexico to try to get access to laetrile treatments that were banned in the US and that he erroneously thought could help him.

@@preppysocks209 prepreppy socks socks. Uniform unifformm

Bullitt has aged well. The cinematography, and even the clothing worn by McQueen look as fresh now as when the picture came out decades ago.

That was my first thought. Wow what a gracious beauty!

I agree--a beautiful talented young woman

fighting a battle he could not win with a supposed treatment that falsely raised hopes

***** He did.

***** Yes, with Dustin Hoffman.

Don't forget "Baby the Rain Must Fall" , co starring with Lee Remick,, A very under rated movie. He was wonderful as usual.

Steve was the greatest actor ever on the big screen !!!-----

And in "The Blob" his leading lady was Anita Corsaut, who later became well known as Helen Crump on the Andy Griffith Show.

At that time certain shows were in color. Batman for instance.
