Anthony Quinn Trivia
The Mexican-born American actor appeared in more than 150 films but was universally identified with one role especially, the earthy, full-of-life title character in Zorba the Greek (1964), whom he inhabited so completely and comfortably than many of his later parts seemed also to be infused with that character’s spirit.
He embraced his offscreen life with the same gusto, evidenced in part by the fact that his 13th child was born when he was in his 80s.
