Quinn and an uncle of mine roomed together back in the early thirties. My uncle had come out from Oklahoma to act and ended up doing small bits before eventually becoming a portrait photographer. He and Quinn met on some film and decided to share expenses. (And no, they weren't bonesmugglers!).
The last part made me laugh. Say what you want about Frank2, but the man had a good sense of humor.

187-188cm Hugh 191cm says on 29/Oct/09
Was 1-2cm taller than 185cm Kevin Costner in Revenge guyfrommars says on 26/Sep/09
There's ca. a foot difference between him and 5ft1.5 Giulietta Masina in La Strada, she's in eye level with his chest. Hugh 191cm says on 19/Sep/09
Peak maybe a weak 6ft2? jean laffite says on 7/Jun/09
In his biography he said himself he was 6ft2.5 . Hugh says on 8/Feb/09
O'Toole looked closer to 6ft3 in his prime. Sam says on 21/Jan/09
I watched Requiem for a Heavyweight recently. The camera favored Quinn looking massive in this. He looked nearly 5 inches taller than 5'10" Jackie Gleason in some shots. But seeing the movie, it's hard to walk away with anything but a 6'2" impression for the young Quinn. Lebensdorf says on 1/Nov/08
In Lawrence of Arabia, he looked about an inch shorter than Peter O'Toole, who is 6'2''. Of course, in the scene in which they are standing before each other, O'Toole has on sandals and Quinn boots with a slight heel. I don't know how old Quinn was at the time. I think you have it right, anyway. He looked pretty tall throughout his career, until the very end. Hugh says on 22/Sep/08
Costner has to be 6ft1.5 then. Mattiew_- says on 21/Sep/08
Take it for what it's worth eporters said in a French show that he was 190cm when he was young ...
Big man anyway , I wouldn't be surprised by a 187/188 peak Lawrence says on 19/Sep/08
I think this height is spot on,he said he was a boxer as a young man and he spared with Primo Carnera,who was about 6'6''and he was picked becouse he was just over 6'1''and a lot taller than most in the gym, talker says on 28/Feb/08
he looked 6'2",according to some italian sources he was 1.87m,same as Vittorio Gassman(listings for Gassman at 1.91m are unrealistic),they look about the same in the movie Barrabas and they are wearing sandals. Ted says on 3/Dec/07
Always seemed at least 6'2 in movies, must have been his long face AshnarLynx says on 20/Oct/07
Francesco doesn't look very tall. 5'11 at most. Danny and Lorenzo both look a lot taller. Mark says on 9/Sep/07
In the movie "Lost Command" Anthony Quinn looks 3 maximum 4 inches taller then 5'9.5" Alain Delon. Thus 6'1" seems accurate. luca says on 18/May/06
his son danny quinn is 6'2"(m 1,88).he took part in the italian reality show "la fattoria" two years ago and he said to be 188.he is taller than his dad Frank2 says on 22/Apr/06
Quinn and an uncle of mine roomed together back in the early thirties. My uncle had come out from Oklahoma to act and ended up doing small bits before eventually becoming a portrait photographer. He and Quinn met on some film and decided to share expenses. (And no, they weren't bonesmugglers!). Later Quinn met and later married Catherine DeMille, daughter of CB and after that when my uncle would see Quinn he'd get the cold shoulder treatment. My uncle was 6' and told me that Quinn was slightly taller. talker says on 21/Apr/06
in the movie barabbas,standing next to 6'3" Jack Palance he looks hardly shorter,maybe half an inch,he was atleast 6'2". Anonymous says on 15/Mar/06
He was a big man, at least 6`1. He was a couple of inches shorter than Gary Cooper or Gregory Peck, both 6`3 I think Frank2 says on 4/Mar/06
Quinn was six-one. Gramps says on 10/Nov/05
Rob, I think you got him just about right. I always thought of him as being a 5'10" kind of guy, but after looking at lots of photos throughout his career, I think the young Quinn was strongly over 6'1". talker says on 12/Jul/05
I think Quinn was taller,he looked taller all through his carrer.I think when he was young he was around 6'3",he was a very tall man. |
