| Barbara McQueen & Marshall Terill book signing on Sunday, October 31st At the Beech Grove Public Library | |
October 5, 2010Marshall Terrill, author of arguably the best biography ever written on Steve McQueen, will visit the city of McQueen’s birth, Beech Grove, Indiana, on Sunday, October 31, 2010, at 2 p.m., for a book-signing event involving both of his new books on the life of the Hoosier-born worldwide cultural icon. Also appearing with Marshall will be Steve's widow Barbara McQueen. This will be Barbara’s first-ever visit to the city of McQueen’s birth, as it will also be for Marshall. Terrill will also give a presentation on McQueen, including the Indiana connections of his life. The Library will also offer a presentation on, and a display of, its recently-established Steve McQueen Birthplace Collection. The Collection is a combined reference library and ‘museum’ commemorating the fact of McQueen being the most notable person to have been born within Beech Grove. In addition to a complete current collection of McQueen’s television and motion-picture performances, and a compilation of biographies and other books about him, it contains possibly the largest publically-viewable collection of memorabilia and information from what is considered the ‘birth’ of his performing career—his role as “Josh Randall” on the television Western show Wanted Dead Or Alive, which ran on CBS from 1958 to 1961. Among the memorabilia are such items as the 5 toy versions of the ‘Mare’s Laig’ sawed-off rifle; the children’s board game based on the series; ‘action figures’ and figurines; collector’s cards from the U.S and overseas; and, various published items (comic books, a novel, and magazines). The library is located at: 1102 Main Street Beech Grove, IN 46107 Phone: 317 788-4203 More information at this Library web-link | |
