(19301980) Vintage 5.5X3.5 picture postcard of Cafe Du Monde in New Orleans. Back in the 1960’s the owner would get celebrities to sign postcards of her restaurant. This particular card was signed in person by Steve McQueen in ball point ink. Just a terrific example of his signature. He was nicknamed the “King of Cool”, was an American actor. His antihero persona, emphasized during the height of the counterculture of the 1960s, made him a top box-office draw during the 1960s and 1970s. McQueen received an Academy Award nomination for his role in The Sand Pebbles (1966). His other popular films include Love with the Proper Stranger (1963), The Cincinnati Kid (1965), Nevada Smith (1966), The Thomas Crown Affair (1968), Bullitt (1968), Le Mans (1971), The Getaway (1972) and Papillon (1973), as well as the all-star ensemble films The Magnificent Seven (1960), The Great Escape (1963) and The Towering Inferno (1974). In 1974, McQueen became the highest-paid movie star in the world, although he did not act in film for another four years.
