Anthony Quinn

On stage 7 productions, 36 years

Each row is a staging this name appears in the cast list of, read from the production record rather than from the person record. The person record names works instead, and a work cannot say which run somebody was in — that is how Elaine Stritch ends up filed under Show Boat 1927 when she was in the 1994 revival. No row here says what part was played, because no cast list records it.

• In the fall of 1960 Merrick had even grander plans for TV. He planned to televise Becket, starring Laurence Olivier and Anthony Quinn, the very night it opened.

• Anthony Quinn told a reporter, "Tennessee Williams, one of the great talents of all time, has been treated like an assembly line butcher... Blame it on too many producers.

• KANDER: Anthony Quinn had a problem that would have been comic if it weren’t for the fact that you had to deal with it all the time. Anthony Quinn was rhythm-deaf the way some people are tone-deaf.

What this page does not know

• What this person played. No cast list we hold records a character against a performer.
• Which of the credits above the roles on this record — actor — apply to. The roles sit on the person and never on a credit, so a director who also acted looks the same here as one who did not.
