Steve McQueen Presentation

On July 17 at 2 p.m., a presentation will be offered in our Meeting House at 6510 S. Franklin Road about actor Steve McQueen, who was born in nearby Beech Grove. This presentation is being done in partnership with the Beech Grove Historical Society.

McQueen, who in the 1970s was the highest-paid movie star in the world, was an award-winning actor whose list of films includes The Magnificent Seven, The Great Escape, The Thomas Crown Affair, The Sand Pebbles, The Towering Inferno, and others. He was a top box-office draw in films during the late 1950s, the ‘60s and ‘70s. Such was his popularity that more than 25 years after his death his estate was in the top 10 highest-earning deceased celebrities.

Area resident Steve Nontell, who has done presentations about McQueen for other groups, will be sharing the actor’s story with us that afternoon. Join us for this interesting and free event!
