Quinn, Anthony

Student at Taliesin West

(Antonio Rudolfo Oaxaca Quinn, 1915.04.15-2001.06.03)  Actor.

Anthony Quinn, 1941.

Although most identified for his Oscar nominated performance as the title character in Zorba the Greek (1964), Anthony Quinn was actually born in Chihuahua, Mexico.  In high school he submitted an architectural plan in a contest and received a scholarship to learn architecture at Taliesin West under the tutelage of famed architect Frank Lloyd Wright. 

A close relationship developed between the student and his teacher, and Wright paid for oral surgery to correct Quinn's speech defect.  Wright then suggested that his would-be protégé take acting lessons to help retrain his tongue.  Wright would later recall that when he saw Quinn perform on stage, he knew Quinn would not return to architecture.
