McQUEEN’S WIDOW: ‘I WAS EMBARRASSED BY STEVE’S DISCO DANCING’
STEVE McQUEEN’s widow BARBARA was shocked when she went on her first date with the Hollywood tough guy - he started to disco dance.
Model Barbara met the Great Escape star in the late 1970s and was delighted to be taken on a date with the screen icon - but she didn’t expect McQueen to be so expressive on the dance floor.
Speaking at her Steve McQueen - Photographs From The Last Mile exhibition in London - she recalls, "When we first got together, he took me dancing. I had my hair in a pony tail, no make up, an antique dress and funky shoes.
"He said ‘Let’s go dancing. And I’m thinking, like getting down, having some fun. But he took me to a club called the Daisy, and he’s wearing white disco trousers and a flowery shirt. I was like ‘Oh no’ and he said ‘Let’s dance.’ And he was doing (mimes doing disco moves).
"I don’t know whether it was the funniest or most embarrassing memory of Steve."
