McQueen was a Canadian drama television series which aired on CBC Television from 1969 to 1970.
The plot features newspaper columnist McQueen ( Ted Follows) whose The Actioneer feature exposed fraud artists and dubious businesses. He was assisted by Denise (Daphne Gibson) and Natasha (Jan Goldin).
The pilot episode, "There's a Car Upside-Down on My Lawn", concerned the disposition of an abandoned vehicle. The episode won two Canadian Film Awards in 1969, for Best Director ( Francis Chapman) and Best Actress in a Non-Feature ( Josephine Barrington).
Jenny ( Margot Kidder) was featured in two episodes as an employee of McQueen's newspaper. In one episode, she helped expose a scam at a talent agency while in the other she sought McQueen's help for a Vietnam draft evader she was dating.
The series was inspired by Frank Drea's Action Line column of the Toronto Telegram, whose newsroom was used to film scenes for the series. [1]
