Some Shocking Facts Concerning Steve McQueen You Likely Never Heard Before

A few weeks ago while doing research for the Steve McQueen story, I ran across an interesting tidbit and thought I'd share it with you today. Evidently, Steve McQueen was on a "hit list" put together by the infamous murderer Charles Manson. And, oddly enough, he was slated to attend Sharon Tate's fateful party that resulted in the murder of all who attended.

There were other recognizable names on the Manson hit list as well, such as Frank Sinatra and Tom Jones.
