Oh yes Stevie, Steve McQueen was certainly one of nices men on earth. I looked for his biography. "Steve with his rugged, tanned, and quizzical good looks. But he died a shocking, early death at the age of fifty on November 7, 1980, after suffering from mesothelioma, a rare and painful form of lung cancer, caused by asbestos. During his stint in the Marine Corps, Steve was sentenced to six weeks in the brig. He had to clean the engine room and the pipes were covered with asbestos. The air was so thick with asbestos particles that the men could hardly breathe. He had been surrounded by asbestos all this life. It was often present in his place of work during his itinerant years when he picked up odd jobs-at construction sites, for example.
I did not know this. But I know that also here in Belgium a lot of people has died from mesothelioma.
Gaff, I agree with you about Keanu Reeves. My friend at work is a great fan of him. Her little boy is called after him. His name means "cold wind over the mountains' in the language from Hawaï.
