Legendary Film Icon's Final Years Are Captured in 'Steve McQueen: The Last Mile,' an Exhibition of Photographs by His Widow Barbara McQueen, Opening at San Francisco Art Exchange With a May 5 Artist's Reception

SAN FRANCISCO, May 4 /PRNewswire/ --
Who: Barbara McQueen, Photographer & Widow of Steve McQueen

Steve McQueen is returning to the city where he made his most
famous movie, but it won't be at a theater or film retrospective.
Instead, McQueen will be brought back to life on the walls of the
San Francisco Art Exchange.

This exhibition, which will last through the end of May, is a
personal collection of approximately 40 photographs taken by
Steve's widow and former model Barbara McQueen, who has remained
silent about her relationship with husband Steve McQueen for more
than 25 years. Now she is ready to talk about their life together
and her photographs, which offer an extremely personal insight
into the final years of Steve McQueen.

The photos offer candid shots from 1977 to 1980 -- the actor's
years out of the spotlight. It also chronicles her years with
McQueen at Trancas Beach, Ketchum, Idaho and Santa Paula as well
as behind-the-scenes photos on the set of Tom Horn and The Hunter.

When: Saturday, May 5, 2007 7 to 10 p.m.

Where: San Francisco Art Exchange - 458 E. Geary Street

The exhibit takes place from 7 to 10 p.m. The event is co-hosted
by Bonhams and Butterfields, a San Francisco-based firm which
hosted a McQueen memorabilia auction in November 2006. "The idea
of having a photo exhibit has been a long-time dream of mine,"
said Barbara McQueen. "And the perfect place to host such an
exhibit is in the city where Steve filmed Bullitt."
