Description
In this episode, I discuss with author Rick Penn-Kraus and his book "Steve McQueen The Last Interview". The inspiring true story behind Steve McQueen's last interview.
In 1979 Los Angeles, a teenage high school journalist set out to do the impossible: land an interview with movie legend Steve McQueen, a man known for avoiding reporters and dodging the spotlight. What followed was a mix of bold determination, awkward courage, and a surprising yes from the King of Cool himself. It was an exclusive interview that Rolling Stone, Time, Life, Newsweek and many other magazines could not get. It turned out to be McQueen's last.
