Despite never knowing him personally, she continued with his legacy by being an actress and loving cars.

About eleven years before , Chadwick founded the McQueen Racing company. He'd passed on his love for Porsches and racing to his daughter and sons long ago, and the trio would continue placing the family in the world's history.

When asked what love was, Madison said it was family and finding someone who understood you.

Steve's granddaughter revealed that her most treasured possessions were the "cool stuff" her father and grandfather collected.

She also shared that her secret was that she was addicted to anything that bore the Porsche name.

Her best Porsche moment was when she rode shotgun with Chadwick in his Porsche S/T on Thermal Raceway.

"42 years ago today, the world lost an icon.

He set the standards veryhigh with everything he did."

Besides Madison, the late star also had three more beautiful grandchildren in early February The trio, like Madison, also followed in his career footsteps by joining the acting industry.

Chadwick's other child was Steven R. McQueen, whom he had with Toten in Steven once confessed that knowing that his late grandfather was a "highly respected actor" didn't necessarily intimidate him.

However, Chadwick's son admitted that it meant there was always pressure for him to live up to the late Steve's reputation.

He explained that he thought that was probably the reason why acting wasn't something he considered doing as a child, but recalled when he fell in love with it, stating:

"I started watching movies my grandpa did, and I saw what an impact they made on the world. That's when I said, 'Hey, I want to do that too.'"

Steven inherited his late grandfather's good looks and became an actor because of him.

He had a half-brother, Jesse/Jessarae, through his mother, and besides acting, he was skilled at ice hockey, martial arts, and horseback riding.

The multi-talented athlete also did kickboxing, and in his downtime, he enjoyed video games.

He was best known for featuring in the first six seasons of "The Vampire Diaries," a show most popular among teenagers, as Jeremy Gilbert.

Chadwick's son then progressed to "Chicago Fire," where he appeared in two seasons as Jimmy Borrelli. He later starred in the spinoff series, "Chicago P.D.," but he wasn't only a great actor and athlete; he also worked as an activist.

Steven shared awareness about sea life and its protection on social media.

In December , two days after Christmas Day, he was seen helping to feed sea lions that were being rehabilitated by the Pacific Marine Mammal Center Mission.

The clip he shared showed him helping to clean where the animals were kept and urged people to donate to the organization to assist in the rescue, rehabilitation, and release of marine mammals.

The actor also uploaded images of two jars filled with garbage and fishing lines.

He explained how seals often mistook grocery bags and garbage for jellyfish. The fishing lines in the jar were found in one seal's stomach, and the ingestion was fatal to the animal.

Chase also became an actor and was known for his roles in 's "Eating Out: Drama Camp" and 's "The Hills: New Beginnings." His Instagram account was filled with images of cars showing how he might have inherited his grandfather's love for speed and vehicles.

Terry made Steve a grandfather when she welcomed her daughter, Molly McQueen. Molly also followed in her late grandfather's footsteps by becoming an actor and working as a producer.

Losing her mother when she was young didn't mean Molly had forgotten her.

In March , she shared a throwback Instagram picture of herself when she was younger, posing with her mother.

In her tribute post, the actress confessed to thinking about her mother "every moment." She also said she saw Terry in everything and wished she'd gotten time to know each other better.

Molly said she knew her mother would've hated aging and was "mortified" that she'd worn the hat in the photo!

However, the actress knew they would've been best friends and couldn't believe it had been 20 years since her death, before declaring her love to her "guardian angel."
