I’m not sure exactly where I got the photo of Anthony Quinn – maybe at a movie memorabilia show in the mid-80’s – but I do know that I held onto it for a long time without doing anything with it. Finally, during my autograph surge of 1997, I sent it off to two-time Academy Award winner Anthony Quinn. He responded in kind by adding his brilliant and handsome signature to this still from Zorba the Greek, perhaps his most famous role – surpassing even the fame of his Oscars for Best Supporting Actor in 1952 (Viva Zapata!) and 1956 (Lust for Life).
The picture was mailed on August 10, 1997 and returned on September 5 less than a month later.
Autographs of 1997 will continue…
I thought he was George Clooney there for a second.

He was – but only for a second.
And by the way, I’ve been after you forever to leave comments on this site and you pick the “Anthony Quinn” posting???? You are one silly, silly girl!
