A friend of mine, Brad, whom I've not seen in many years, once told me a cute story about Steve McQueen. When Steve was filming "Junior Bonner", they shot some of the scenes on his family's property in Colorado.  He was just a young child at the time but remembers it well. It made quite an impression on him. He remembered playing with Steve and running in and out and around his legs. Everyone in his family was thrilled to have the film crew there and to be able to meet and spend time with Steve McQueen. He was kind to everyone there and has been a family favorite to this day. 

It doesn't surprise me that Steve McQueen had that effect on nearly everyone who was lucky enough to meet him. And, for me, it's nice because every time I watch Junior Bonner or even hear the name of the film, I think of my old fiend as a little kid, running and playing with great Steve McQueen. It never fails to make me laugh.
