Who was the guy at the Playboy Mansion party?
The one who was giving all the details about people's lives?
Was that supposed to be Scotty Bowers?
Steve McQueen. Why, who knows. Other than a few other references. Bounty Law, McQueen's Wanted: Dead or Alive and the CGI version of The Great Escape. Off the top of my head.
shareOh, okay. Thanks!
shareWhen that scene was set -- February, 1969 -- McQueen was riding high on his biggest hit -- "Bullitt" with the car chase, a 1968 movie that was still playing strong in '69.
McQueen hung with that crowd, but was the biggest star in it.
After Tate, Sebring and the others were killed, McQueen took to carrying a gun and hiring more security. A mouthy agent named Sue Mengers reportedly told McQueen, "Don't worry, Steve, they're not killing stars...just featured players."
