Glad you liked it. Watching it now, and a bit sad they've had to cut the original down to fit commercials, but the good stuff is still there.

 
I missed it, but it is on SPIKE again on Thursday, 6/26 at 11:00 PM EDT. I set the DVR this time.

Not to be a whiner, but since I don't get Spike TV and my Dad's best friend used to ride with Steve (funny story about Steve will be related to the one who gets me a copy) and I don't get Spike TV..... end of whining....

Anyone who could somehow burn a DVD for me would be a real gem. If there is any chance that it's available on DVD already, I'd be happy to order one, but if not, a copy of the broadcast would be great. Thanks in advance.

 
Watched it last nite, and dvr'd Bullet which I watched this afternoon. Damn tv stations these days, they cut to commericals during the car chase! At least I could fast fwd. Saw it in the theatre when I was 14, man did I want a mustang like that! ( I did buy a 5.0 gt new in 86, loved that car!)

 
I don't own a ton of DVDs but Bullitt and On Any Sunday are two of them worth owning.

There will be a full length DVD with cool special features, including the day Bruce Lee took a ride with Steve in Mulholland, when Bruce was deciding whether to buy a Porsche.

 
Glad I saw this topic today. I had set it up on the old TiVo, bit it didn't make it to the new one. Added it so I can watch it when I get home.

...Does you know what happened to his daughter Terry, that she passed away so young?

Terry Leslie McQueen, head of a Malibu film production company and the daughter of the late movie actor Steve McQueen, is dead at age 38.

She died of respiratory failure Thursday at UCLA Medical Center, according to her mother, McQueen's first wife, Neile Adams, now Neile Toffel.

"Terry had been troubled by numerous medical problems in recent years," her mother said. "She had beaten the odds and had made a full recovery from a successful liver transplant operation last November."

Toffel said she and her husband, Alvin E. Toffel, would now raise Terry's only child, Molly, who is 10.

Terry McQueen was 19 when her father died of cancer in 1980 at age 50. Her brother, actor Chad McQueen, survives her.

McQueen's production company, Red Line, had two ongoing film projects, her mother said.


I believe you can go to the IMDb web site and link to (pay &) watch the program.

Ionbeam had it right. Very sad to lose someone that young.

Steve's family consists of his son, Chad, and his grandchildren (Steven, Chase, and Madison by Chad, and Molly, by Terry).

Steven is an actor on the CW series "The Vampire Diaries", Chase plays professional soccer in the UK, and Madison is nearing graduation from high school; Molly is an actress and model.

I'll say now that what you saw onscreen is what these folks are like in real life. Steven is super thoughtful and a really decent guy; Chase is fun, slightly impish, and also a great guy, Maddie is super creative and nice, as is Molly. My wife and I had dinner with Neile (his first wife) a few years ago, and she's a real charmer, with incredible stories (and she still does cabaret shows in her 70's!). I spoke with Barbara, his last wife, several times and she is just down-home and sweet as anyone you'd meet; she lives just outside of Ketchum, ID.

About 2-3 times a month, we receive an email from someone who has a terrific story to share about how Steve or Chad or others in the family did some nice thing that had a tremendous impact on that person's life. My own recent observation was similar: we were at the annual Steve McQueen car show at the Boy's Republic in Chino earlier this month, and Chad was judging several of the cars, including the Bullitt Mustang class. He stopped to talk with an owner of 1968 Mustang fastback Bullitt replica. The owner was a younger marine who lived in Wenatchee, was on leave from his service for a while, and had driven down with his wife and young son to attend the show, because he was such a Bullitt fan. Chad talked with him for a long time, held his young son (who was wearing a McQueen tshirt), signed the car at various places, and thanked him personally for his service to our country. The look on this owner's face was priceless...he couldn't believe it. His car was cool, but nowhere near the quality or detail of some of the other Bullitt replicas and fastbacks.

When the judging was announced later that afternoon, the winner of the Bullitt trophy was .... you guessed it, the young Marine. When I stopped by later, he was in total shock at having received the trophy. I can only imagine his joy and the stories he got to come home and tell his unit.

I have a zillion stories just like the one above. This family is the real deal, and while the projects I get to work on with them are reason enough, the above examples are why I truly love these projects.

BTW, we raised over $300,000 that day for the Boys Republic.

 
I actually read this about 20 minutes into the first showing. I ran out and checked my listings and saw it aired again in the middle of the night so I recorded it. Watched it last night with my 22 year old son. He has seen Bullitt and On Any Sunday but this was a great way to introduce him to the man himself. We really enjoyed it.
