There’s a really revelatory story about McQueen from one of his leading ladies (I think it was Natalie Wood on ‘Love with the Proper Stranger). McQueen’s character had to get upset and lose his temper and angrily pull the girl to one side. After a few takes Wood started wincing because his pulling was quite fierce and he was incidentally actually hurting her. McQueen said to the the director ‘I’m not happy with this scene’ (Wood was touched that he was considerate of her discomfort) but he went on to say ‘When I pull her towards me she blocks my face completely and the camera is all hers’. Wood was aghast but it was sadly just another day at the ‘narcissist’s office’ for McQueen.
James Garner and Steve McQueen were two of my favorite actors. Sad to see that they couldn't stand each other. It's unusual to see Garner say something like that, I don't recall him running too many people down.
Robert Vaughn also found McQueen annoying. He recalled how McQueen woke up him up early one morning; complaining that Brynner had the best guns (pearl-handled) and the biggest horse. Vaughn reminded him that he wasn’t in charge of those things. (Turns out that Vaughn had the biggest horse!) Despite this, Vaughn remained good friends with McQueen, even co-starring in “Bullitt.”
Its all ego's ... insecurities...imagination and paranoia from people not ready for the adult world .... insecurities aplenty . Still another $10 million dollar payday is on its way to cushion the blows for the poor lambs

Garner was mad because Mcqueen was a republican. Not a suckass dem like garner
Well he may not have been an "actor" but a "movie star" as Names Garner said but in the 60s and 70s he was the biggest one of them all.

It’s amazing how many accusations surface when the alleged victim is no longer here!
Bronson and McQueen were close, he was with him at this death bed and made the call to Yul Brynner.
James Cogburn? Really? Attention to detail is key.

Always liked watching Steve McQueen, and thought that he was a more interesting actor than Brenner.
Looks like most people did not like McQueen
Bound to be friction.in acting
Cast together with the script
Not allowed to.improvise or
Ad lib because of directors
Iron hand!
