MCQUEEN'S WIDOW: 'STEVE WAS DESPERATE FOR MEDICAL ALTERNATIVES'

Legendary movie star STEVE McQUEEN was desperate to try all kinds of medicines to overcome lung cancer, but knew that going to Mexico was his 'last hope', his widow has revealed.

The Bullitt actor died from a heart attack after surgery to remove tumours from his neck and abdomen in Juarez, Mexico in 1980.

And widow Barbara claims, despite her husband's terminal illness, he never gave up hope of survival.

She says, "Mexico was his last hope for the alternative medicines. He said to me when he found out he was sick, 'Okay, honey, what do you want to do? You want to have some fun - go live in the desert, travel, or try alternatives.' And I'm in love, of course I want to say try the alternatives.

"You don't talk Steve McQueen out of anything. What he wants to do, he's gonna do."
