The 1964 yearbook staff at the University of Oklahoma had the juevos to ask Steve McQueen to participate as “Beauty Judge” for their beauty contest. He actually took the time to reply.
Ask and ye shall receive. After all, years of girl-gazing did qualify him to judge. And he chose Miss Barbie Listen. Yep, that’s her real name.
Can you blame him? Her hair is only perfect. Her dress and gloves are white as snow. And I think it was very diplomatic of him to name five girls in the tie for 4th place. Nobody wants to be the loser. But I imagine Barbie Listen comes from the school of Ricky Bobby:
Suck it, losers.




I dunno she looks like she should have been voted most likely to be (or become) a Stepford Wife, Village of the Damned soccer mom, a “Austin Powers” fembot, or sleeping pill/alcohol swilling lost sole from The Valley Of The Dolls. But what do I know? she may have married a Vietnam war veteran Named Joe who had “Kung Fu Grip”

She does look like all of those things. I wonder if that vet had a hard last name like Petrowski or something, so she had to become Barbie Petrowski instead of Listen.

I’d like to see what the other coeds looked like. Barbie set a pretty high standard.

Well, we will just have to trust the McQueen’s judgment.
