His Great Love?
Although his 1973 marriage to The Getaway co-star Ali MacGraw began with a scandal and eventually ended in divorce in 1978, many have stated that she was the one great love of his life. It was said that: “He was madly in love with her until the day he died.”
Final Marriage
In January 1980, just under a year before his passing, he married model Barbara Minty. She stated in her book Steve McQueen: The Last Mile that he became an Evangelical Christian at the end of his life after being influenced by his flying instructor Sammy Mason and Barbara herself.
