Steve McQueen in 20 vintage photos
Steve McQueen seduced an entire generation with his blue eyes and his all-American cool. Take a look at the icon's unwavering charisma with 20 equally magnetic shots.
He lived his life at 100 miles an hour. Former Marine who was abandoned by his mother, Steve McQueen electrified international cinema with his memorable roles in The Magnificent Seven, The Thomas Crown Affair, and Bullitt. An irresistibly seductive speed freak, the best paid actor in the world during the 70s continues to fascinate with his dating life, but above all by his innate sense of style and his racy elegance. Vogue looks back at the inspiring allure of the blue-eyed bad boy.
