Baugh, ''Latino American Cinema: An Encyclopedia of Movies, Stars, Concepts, and Trends'', page 221 (Greenwood, 2012. ISBN 978-0-313-38036-5).〕 more commonly known as Anthony Quinn, was a Mexican-born American actor, painter and writer. He starred in numerous critically acclaimed and commercially successful films, including ''La Strada'', ''The Guns of Navarone'', ''Zorba the Greek'', ''Guns for San Sebastian'', ''Lawrence of Arabia'', ''The Message'' and ''Lion of the Desert''. He won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor twice: for ''Viva Zapata!'' in 1952 and ''Lust for Life'' in 1956. ==Early life== Quinn was born Antonio Rodolfo Quinn Oaxaca on April 21, 1915 in Chihuahua, Mexico during the Mexican Revolution to Manuela (née Oaxaca) and Francisco Quinn, known informally as "Frank" and "Nellie".〔(Profile ), FilmReference.com; accessed March 7, 2015.〕 Francisco Quinn was born in Mexico, to an Irish immigrant father from County Cork and a Mexican mother. Frank Quinn rode with Mexican revolutionary Pancho Villa,〔 then later moved to the East Los Angeles neighborhood of City Terrace and became an assistant cameraman at a movie studio. In Quinn's autobiography, ''The Original Sin: A Self-portrait by Anthony Quinn'', he denied being the son of an "Irish adventurer" and attributed that tale to Hollywood publicists.〔("Anthony: The Mighty Quinn" ), bbc.co.uk, June 3, 2001; accessed March 7, 2015.〕 When he was six years old, Quinn attended a Catholic church (even thinking he wanted to become a priest). At age eleven, however, he joined the Pentecostals in the International Church of the Foursquare Gospel (the Pentecostal followers of Aimee Semple McPherson).〔(Anthony Quinn ). – Adherents.com〕 For a time he played in the church's band and was an apprentice preacher with the renowned evangelist. "I have known most of the great actresses of my time, and not one of them could touch her", Quinn once said of the spellbinding McPherson, whom he credited with inspiring Zorba's gesture of the dramatically outstretched hand. 〔Stephen M. Silverman. ("Macho Actor Anthony Quinn Made Passion His Compass" ), people.com; accessed March 30, 2015.〕 Quinn grew up first in El Paso, Texas, and later the Boyle Heights and the Echo Park areas of Los Angeles, California. He attended Hammel Street Elementary School, Belvedere Junior High School, Polytechnic High School and finally Belmont High School in Los Angeles, with future baseball player and ''General Hospital'' star John Beradino, but left before graduating. Tucson High School in Arizona, many years later, awarded him an honorary high school diploma. As a young man, Quinn boxed professionally to earn money, then studied art and architecture under Frank Lloyd Wright, at Wright's Arizona residence and his Wisconsin studio, Taliesin. The two men became friends. When Quinn mentioned that he was drawn to acting, Wright encouraged him. Quinn said he had been offered $800 per week by a film studio and didn't know what to do. Wright replied, "Take it, you'll never make that much with me." During a 1999 interview on the show ''Private Screenings with Robert Osborne'', Quinn said the contract was for only $300 per week.〔''Private Screenings with Robert Osborne'', Turner Classic Movies cable channel, re-aired April 21, 2009 (originally broadcast 1999).〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Anthony Quinn」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
