{"product_id":"mcqueen-9780002571951","title":"McQueen","description":"\u003cp\u003eSteve McQueen  one of the first \"cool\" film stars  remains a cultural icon the world over. His image is used to sell everything from cars  to beer  to a range of dolls. From the Cicinnati Kid to Frank Bullitt  Tom Crown to Papillon  his roles exemplified a certain school of male charm  as well as grit and a hint of menace. McQueen was born in 1930 into a poor Mid-western family to a highly strung mother and truant father. In and out of reform school from a young age  he was eventually made a ward of court and the resulting sense of abandonment never left him. His big break came with the TV saga \"Wanted: Dead or Alive\" and the now cult-classic B-movie \"The Blob\". Just two years later he was one of the leading lights of tinseltown. Sandford goes on to chart McQueens phenomenal Hollywood career  starring in some of the worlds best-loved films  in tandem with his turbulent private life: his marriages  his bisexuality  the drink  the fast cars  casual sex and violence.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67972945412149,"sku":"ByrdShop_0002571951","price":159.05,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780002571951.jpg?v=1794630098","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/mcqueen-9780002571951","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
