Anthony Quinn

Died June 3rd, 2001

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) - Two-time Oscar winner Anthony Quinn, a former shoeshine boy and preacher who became an international leading man with a film career spanning six decades, has died of respiratory failure. He was 86.

Both Quinn's screen presence and personal style were larger than life. The barrel-chested actor fathered 13 children and starred in 100 feature films, including the fierce Bedouin leader in ``Lawrence of Arabia'' in 1962 and the earthy hero of the 1964 film ``Zorba the Greek.''

He won his first Oscar for his work in the 1952 film ``Viva Zapata!'' as the brother of Mexican revolutionary leader Emiliano Zapata. He picked up his second award for supporting actor for the 1956 drama ``Lust for Life.''
