Steve McQueen
In the 60s and 70s Steve McQueen was the biggest name in Hollywood. Today the silent action hero is as cool as ever. His best films, such as the Kurosawa inspired western "The Magnificent Seven" and the ultimate prisoner-of-war film "The Great Escape", are some of Hollywood's greatest classics.
