The web site Ask Men provides some interesting trivia regarding the iconic screen legend Steve McQueen. Among the 5 Things You Didn't Know is a story regarding McQueen's first big break in the 1959 Frank Sinatra WWII film Never So Few. Apparently, the role was originally intended for Rat Packer Sammy Davis Jr., but Davis alienated Sinatra with some remarks about being more popular than he was. The thin-skinned Chairman of the Board then replaced Davis with McQueen, thus allowing the young actor to play his most visible role yet in a major studio production. Other facts range from the less obscure (McQueen was paranoid after finding out he had been among Charles Manson's intended victims) to the purely speculative (because McQueen was sensitive about anyone who questioned his masculinity, he therefore must have been bi-sexual.)
