There are many books on McQueen, and all are very good. Steve McQueen: Portrait of an American Rebel, by Marshall Terril, seems to be one of the best, although each book contains information unique to itself.
Here is one of my favorite passages from this book:
Not one to socialize with
the Hollywood crowd, Steve asked Pat Johnson and his wife, along with a
then unknown Chuck Norris and his wife, to attend an event with him and
Ali. "Everybody who was anybody in Hollywood was there," remembers Johnson.
It was a black tie affair, but McQueen showed up in a plaid Benetton lumberjack
shirt, blue jeans, boots, and a long beard.
Not once during the event
did McQueen get up. Instead, everybody in the room came over to greet him
like he was royalty. Says Pat Johnson, "The cream of the crop from Hollywood
came over to Steve to shake his hand. Clint Eastwood, John Lennon... all
came over to the table. It was like they were paying homage to him. They
were all in awe of him. He was not in awe of anybody."
