Anthony Quinn



Manuel Antonio Rodolfo Quinn Oaxaca (April 21, 1915 – June 3, 2001), known as Anthony Quinn, was a two-time Academy Award-winning Mexican American actor. He is perhaps remembered for performing the title role in Zorba the Greek (1964), one of the leads in Viva Zapata! (1952, for which he won an Oscar), and as the brutish circus strongman Zampanò in Federico Fellini's La strada (1954).
