We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.
Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.
ANTHONY QUINN-PROFILE B asically a man of small pretense, Anthony Quinn behaves and lives exactly like what he is: to wit, an international superstar. His strength and assurance demand respect and he gets it. To him, acting is a very serious business and not to be trifled with. “He takes acting as seriously as he takes chess,” says a friend, Syl Lamont, who is his daily chess opponent on and off the set of “Nobody Loves Flapping Eagle,” Quinn’s new starring picture. “Actually, Tony isn’t a brilliant chess player,” Lamont declares, “but he’s a tenacious one, and I have beat him only once in approximately ten years time. Of course, I’m not a very good player.” As a star, Tony brushes aside the traditional portable dressing room — which is a little square box with a couch, two chairs and a lighted mirror and which is hauled around from stage to stage for working stars. Tony has a sizeable, two-room, with bath, mobile home which is driven onto the stage where he is working and which becomes his home by day. He even takes lunch there, and has conferences there, and naps there. It’s all part of the Quinn status. Tony’s stern visage, his unapproachable demeanor and his absence of willing communication are attitudes which set him somewhat aside during the filming of a picture. “It isn’t that he isn’t friendly,” somebody said. “He’s so damned serious about his work that he doesn’t leave any room for sociability.” During the filming of “Nobody Loves Flapping Eagle,” the only person who has been able to crack the Quinn wall of silence has been Shelly Winters who has never been famous for her restraint. She positively overwhelms Quinn with words and concern, and totally ignores his lack of response. Pretty soon her talkativeness and indomitable spirit become contagious, and Tony finds himself TRYING to get in on the act. ANTHONY QUINN AND TONY BILL Page 7
