McQueen received an Academy Award nomination for his role in "The Sand Pebbles".  His other popular films include "The Cincinnati Kid", "The Thomas Crown Affair", "Bullitt", "The Getaway", and "Papillon", as well as the all-star ensemble films "The Magnificent Seven", "The Great Escape", and "The Towering Inferno".
