Biografía
ANTHONY QUINN (Chihuahua, México, 21 de abril de 1915–Boston, Estados Unidos, 3 de junio de 2001) fue un actor, director de cine, pintor, escritor y escultor mexicano nacionalizado estadounidense. Recibió múltiples galardones, entre ellos dos Premios Óscar.
Biografía y carrera
Manuel Antonio Rodolfo Quinn Oaxaca nació el 21 de abril de 1915 en Chihuahua, México. Según el actor, sus padres fueron Francisco Quinn, de origen irlandés, y Manuela Oaxaca, mexicana descendiente de aztecas. Su padre había participado en la Revolución mexicana y allí conoció a la que sería su madre.
Por su apariencia «multiétnica» y su paso por el boxeo en sus facciones, siguió interpretando roles secundarios como nativo de los Estados Unidos, mafioso italiano, gánster, chino, árabe, filipino e hispano durante la década de 1940. Rodó alrededor de 15 filmes, encasillándose en papeles de hampón, villano y personajes de dudosa reputación. Esto trascendió en la vida real, y la alta sociedad del Hollywood de la época no lo admitía en sus círculos, discriminándolo.
Recibió en 1956 su segundo Óscar al mejor actor de reparto, por su rol del pintor Paul Gauguin en la película El loco del pelo rojo, del director Vincente Minnelli, sobre la vida de Vincent Van Gogh. Es destacable mencionar que Quinn sólo aparece ocho minutos en la película. El papel principal lo interpretó Kirk Douglas, con quien había colaborado en la película Ulises en 1954, y con quien también lo haría en 1959 en la película El último tren de Gun Hill.
En 1956 hizo una notable interpretación de Cuasimodo en la película Notre Dame de Paris, junto a Gina Lollobrigida. En 1958 dirigió él mismo una nueva versión de la película El bucanero (The Buccaneer), en la cual había participado en un papel secundario en 1938. Esta segunda versión sería su única participación como director de cine.
En la década de 1980 participó en una decena de películas, sin mayor notoriedad. En esta época se dedicó principalmente a su gran pasión: la pintura y la escultura en bronce y mármol, donde gana dinero en sus exposiciones.
Muerte
Falleció acompañado de su última esposa e hijos en un hospital de Boston en 2001, a los 86 años.
Biography
