DNA from a a stray hair or shed skin cell?  Dusted it for fingerprints?  Didn't Steve McQueen get arrested and fingerprinted in his earlier life?  I am sure they did the forensics profile.  LOL!

no way steve  terence mcqueen was arrested......

"In 1972, actor McQueen was busted in Anchorage, Alaska for drunk driving. The star of films such as "The Magnificent Seven" and "The Great Escape" posted bail and left town. He was later convicted in absentia for reckless driving. Thanks to Chris Lambos, who runs a McQueen site, for providing us with this photo."

1. He definitely looks a little drunky in the booking photos.

2. WTF up with his super white ear?

3. If he were alive today he'd be closing in on 90!  What's the saying about don't let your heroes get old? James Dean would be about the same age. Elvis would be 84. Marilyn Monroe would be 93. Think as many people would remember them as legends, if they were still alive?  (Well, probably McQueen for us Mustang guys.)

Another thought on that booking photo:

I've read that, like many other movie/TV celebrities, McQueen was shorter than his bio claimed, and that he often wore lifts in his shoes. 

That makes me wonder what the official scale in the booking photo showed?  Are there any other shots of it, not so tightly cropped, so we can see the measurement?

no worries your request has been granted by the mug shot genie, here is steve mcQueen...

I think you need to lower Steve's pix by about 4 inches.

No disrespect to the man, but I have read many personal accounts from people who were on set with him over the years, and most say he was more like 5'8" or 5'9".

"In the U.S. population, about 14.5 percent of all men are six feet or over. Among CEOs of Fortune 500 companies, that number is 58 percent. Even more strikingly, in the general American population, 3.9 percent of adult men are 6'2" or taller."
