Speeding Bullitt: The Life and Films of Steve McQueen Kelsy Norman

During the summer of 1968, Leilani Chun found herself on the set of Bullitt alongside Steve McQueen. She joins me on this bonus episode of the show, to share her interaction with "The King of Cool."

On this episode of Speeding Bullitt: The Life and Films of Steve McQueen, I'm joined by Marshall Terrill, writer and Steve McQueen expert. Together, we explore McQueen's relationship with his third wife, Barbara Minty, his struggle with Mesothelioma, and his passing on November 7, 1980.

Dr. Jason Ney, Associate Professor of English at Colorado Christian University and film historian, joins me to discuss Steve McQueen's final film, The Hunter. We explore the cars featured in the movie, the film's cast of ridiculous characters, and the exciting stunt work performed by Steve McQueen and Loren Janes. 

Mickey Guinn, retired actor, stuntman, and driver for Hollywood Local 399 Teamsters joins me to talk about befriending Steve McQueen on the star's penultimate film, Tom Horn, and to share stories about working with many actors including William Shatner, Bette Davis, and Jim Carrey. 

Florence Esposito takes me back to The Old Place in Agoura Hills, California during the early to mid-70s, where she worked and mingled with Steve McQueen and other Hollywood stars at the beloved rustic bar.

The Steve McQueen expert Marshall Terrill joins me to provide insight into McQueen's rarely seen 1978 film, An Enemy of The People. We also discuss the extensive interview Steve gave Charles Champlin at Loyola Marymount University in 1978, which I also present in its entirety.
