What an actor this man was. He elevated the quality of everything he was in.

He literally is the archetype of the term "old school movie star." They don't make 'em like they used to.

Now that's a Actor.

Even as a Talk Show Guest Quinn shows an incredible presence and charisma. It seems that he is too big for the TV screen here. This strong and very handsome man was a REAL movie star - not only a movie actor like the stars of today.

People stop worshiping actors why are always like that

Tall, dark, and extremely handsome, a gentlemen, an actor who gave his soul to every man he played! I was heart broken when he died...

What a beautiful, sensitive, honest man. I was so sorry when his son died, too young.

In some level, he is part of the greatest generation this country probably ever had and it looks like the country will never have one like that. Amazing

Now I know where Brando took inspiration for the voice he made for Vito Corleone

Actors and actresses of that generation were very articulate and appeared to think before they spoke. Today with one or two exceptions they're incoherent without a script.

Seems like a gentleman.

One of the greatest actors of all time. My favorite movie is Lawrence of Arabia, and everybody talks about Peter O'toole's and Omar Sharif's performances, wich are two of the greatest in cinema history, but Anthony Queen's is at the same level without question.

As of 2023 the Anthony Quinn library is still open in East Los Angeles 💞 on what used to be Brooklyn Ave 😃💞

What a terrific interview ! THANKS so much for sharing ! Cool to see the lovely & talented Lee Remick there too ! What a charismatic individual Mr Quinn was !

What a fantastic actor

A virtuoso actor with a great versatility of playing challenging roles. Truly authentic man who tells it like it is.

As a Greek, seeing Anthony play Greeks four times (Zorba, the Greek tycoon, Onassis: the richest man in the world and The Guns of Navarone) I consider him as a Greek. He played a Greek so well. He managed to embody our culture so well. I think being Mexican helped with this. There are many parallels between our culture but still, he was truly magnificent.

This actor is one of my favorites of all time. Really liked him as Zorba. He really captured the feel of that atmosphere in that part and played it better than any Greek would have. Yiasou Mr. Quinn. I watched that movie about 4 times and every time it’s like a new experience. I think they should have made a sequel to that film when all the original cast were still with us, possibly called it the return of Zorba. Even read the book a couple of times and got emotional about it. Sorry that’s just me.

I used to watch "Guns for San Sebastian" over and over and just to admire Quinn's acting, cause I love Westerns. I now almost, only watch old Westerns, and Quinn was in a "million" of them.

This guy was a legend really nice man Anthony Quinn

tremendous actor, his voice, his enthusiasm, an inspiring master for so many. Also perfect speaking spanish, his mother tongue

Quinn, you win.. that was an incredible film,.(Shoes of the Fisherman). I'm sure glad they didn't cast anyone else, but patiently waited. It came out after my family & I had just returned from a year in Europe, in fact we were in Rome when the Pope came out and gave audience in the square. As we know this is a story only, but the mood is reconciliation which is a timeless good mood. Kudos to the Mexican playing the Russian pope in Italy, meeting the Chinese leader. 😂 Peace & Blessings.

Great actor!

No way , the role of Mountain Rivera in Requiem for a Heavyweight was one o r the best full role Quinn played and the movie is a absolute masterpiece . Off course the script is about a so dramatic story , so extreme between rebirth and fall of a strange boxer .

Nice how Dick let his guests talk.

I met him in 1985 through a mutual acquaintance. I only recently learned that Quinn was Mexican- born as Manuel Oaxaca in Chihuahua. His dad rode with Pancho Villa in the Mexican Revolution. Before becoming an actor Quinn studied under Frank Lloyd Wright to be an architect. But he gave it up because acting paid better.

Wrong. Manuel Antonio Rodolfo Quinn Oaxaca was his name, grandson of an Irish immigrant in Mexico. 'Anthony Quinn was born Antonio Rodolfo Quinn Oaxaca (some sources indicate Manuel Antonio Rodolfo Quinn Oaxaca) on April 21, 1915, in Chihuahua, Mexico, to Manuela (Oaxaca) and Francisco Quinn, who became an assistant cameraman at a Los Angeles (CA) film studio. His paternal grandfather was Irish, and the rest of his family was Mexican.'
