## Caption

The King of Cool: American actor Steve McQueen, who was born 90 years ago today.⁠
Pictured here during a two day dirt-bike race across the Mojave Desert, McQueen was one of the few competitors to complete the 500 mile course. He once remarked: "Racing is life. Anything before or after is just waiting."⁠
With rare access to the Hollywood star, see gettyarchive for more on this 1963 shoot by life photographer John Dominis.⁠
