The further we go back in Hollywood history, the more that fact and legend become intertwined.
It's hard to say where the truth really lies.

September 6, 1958
Wanted Dead or Alive first aired.
The Western television series starring Steve McQueen as the bounty hunter Josh Randall. It aired on CBS for
three seasons in 1958–61. The black-and-white program
was a spin-off of
a March 1958 episode of Trackdown, a 1957–59
western series starring Robert
Culp. Both series were produced by Four Star Television in
association with CBS
Television.
The series launched
McQueen, known for the concept of "cool" in entertainment, as
the first television star to cross over into comparable status on the big
screen.
To quote the Bicentennial Minute, "And that's the way it was".
