Today in Labor History April 21, 1915: Anthony Quinn was born. Quinn was a Mexican-American actor, painter, writer, and film director. He played the titular role in Zorba the Greek and was nominated for the Academy Award for best actor. And he did win the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor twice: for “Viva Zapata!” (1952) and “Lust for Life” (1956). As a child, Quinn experienced considerable racism growing up in Los Angeles. He later participated in several civil rights and social causes. He supported the Spanish-Speaking People's Congress. He also helped raise funds for the legal defense of Mexican American youth in the racially charged Sleepy Lagoon murder trial in 1942. He also supported the 1963 March on Washington and visited Native American activists occupying Alcatraz Island.

Toen was het toch echt nog het schoon verdiep, wanneer ik er in de jaren 90 één van de zonen van Anthony Quinn mocht gaan interviewen.
Helaas werd het wel een fiks ingekort stukje in de Gazet van Antwerpen.

Kon eens de zoon van Anthony Quinn interviewen voor GvA (één van de zonen eigenlijk).

Het werd een ingekort stukje in de krant.

Een knap acteur met de looks van zijn vader zaliger maar vooral een zeer bijzonder artiest. Handsculpturen onder andere, in alle maten en gewichten, daar is hij vandaag nog steeds mee bezig.

Barabbas 1961
The story of the criminal who was set free by Pontius Pilate instead of Jesus by popular demand.

I'm an atheist, but I have a soft spot for religious epics, especially the classics.
