So what was this big rivalry between Steve McQueen and Paul Newman? Read the Trivia section and I was like, what? Same number of lines, are you kiddin' me? Two grown-ass men carried on like that?! Pssshaw!
What was going on in Faye Dunaway's life at that time? Trivia said she was late to set every day. Drugs?

Maybe it was their agents..?
I can imagine Steve McQueen would probably be like that but cant imagine Paul Newman .. then again if he was being backed into a corner he wouldn't lay down and be like 'it ok steve you take top billing and be the alpha male. I'm ok with supporting ..after all I'm only Butch Cassidy'
Voted dumbest post of the year. Period. McQueen wanted to be top dog in Hollywood and he always viewed Newman as the guy he had to pass. McQueen took his career in his own hands to get where he wanted to be and you have to admire that. He also had a lot of respect for Newman even though he wanted to knock him down a peg. Iâm a McQueen biographer so I know the true story.
With your blasĂ© attitude you wouldnât be able to compete with anyone in any career, you want something, you have to take it, at any cost.
actually you are quite correct as if you are abit blasé about stuff others sense it and quickly try to cast you out or take your place or just get rid of you as competition. have had it done to me several times as have been very blasé in several situations when I dropped my guard/was just laid back about stuff and others sensed it or something and then tried to take advantage or tried to destroy me with spreading lies/rumours etc and as a result became abit of a social outcast and then had to start over in another place and then if you don't take note of what happened before the same thing can happen and then you go someplace else - all that stuff (guess I should've done one of those psychology degrees, it might've helped lol)
shareI have read that McQueen often cut line from scripts; I assume to give more impacts to his words. Is that correct?
shareI don't know if that's true, but if he was trying to have more of an impact shouldn't he have fought to change "It's a fire Mister, and all fires are bad". I love this movie, but that line is so cringe worthy.
