Steve McQueen Asked For Extra Lines
Known as ‘The King of Cool,’ Steve McQueen was an incredible presence both on and off the screen. One of his most famous films was The Towering Inferno, in which he starred alongside Paul Newman.
McQueen was happy to work alongside another big star, but didn’t want Newman outshining him, so he asked for 12 extra lines of dialogue, so they both had the same amount.
