Newman was really cool, but I think it took longer for it to develop. McQueen died at or not long after his "peak" coolness.

And, as cool as Newman was - McQueen was way cooler. The best evidence I have to offer is that even Bruce Lee wanted to be Steve McQueen super badly.

So, McQueen wins this one pulling away.

Both guys living in the era of Marlboro's, Lincoln drop tops, and black an white photos just adds to the coolness of both.

But Newman's ability to remain cool in the fricking 1980s (which ruined the coolness of many entertainers) has to be counted for.

Plus... The bastard played a mean game of pool
