Zorba the Greek
Today is Anthony Quinn's birthday. I know, I'm a bit obsessed with birthday's as of late. But he was a very interesting man and had a great career. So here's to Anthony!
Final scene from Zorba the Greek
Anthony Quinn "love"
"Quinn was a Mexican-American painter, writer, and Oscar-winning actor. Quinn boxed in his youth and studied art and architecture under Frank Lloyd Wright. He later turned to acting and achieved international stardom in the 1950s and 60s for his ability to portray ethnically diverse characters, most notably Zorba the Greek. He fathered 12 children and wrote two memoirs, and his paintings have sold for hundreds of thousands of dollars."- Wikipedia

side note: When are we going to hear more from Soula Granger?
Hi PP. Isn't that amazing. I'm glad women can't do that, though. You're most welcome. Glad you enjoyed the video picks.
The second clip reminded me of a visit Mr. Quinn made to David Letterman's show back when he was on NBC. Dave had been playing old records and came across this cut of Anthony Quinn saying "I Love You" over and over using various inflections. A couple of days later, Mr. Quinn came on the show and Dave played the cut. Everybody was laughing because it was quite funny and Quinn says, completely straight, "Do you know how much money I made for that track?"
I'm sure it doesn't translate here, but it was a very funny Letterman moment.
Excellent again, Frieda!
