Force of nature
This is my first but will not be the last post dedicated to Steve McQueen and Paul Newman.
You don’t find actors like these anymore today. They were carved out of a different wood.
Having watched The Hustler, Cool Hand Luke, Cincinnati Kid and many of their other films countless times, I can say that no actors have inspired me in the way that these two have.
They were a force of nature. They created characters, believably, that did not take no for an answer, that were stubborn and fearless. Characters who were flawed but who, in their flawedness, were full of integrity and strength.
Oh how refreshing to be in the presence, albeit through a silver screen, of someone who takes no prisoners, who is unyielding and who does not compromise just to please.
