Late Anthony Quinn honored at gala

LOS ANGELES (AP) - The late Oscar-winning actor Anthony Quinn was honored posthumously by family and former co-stars at a film festival gala. Quinn, who died from respiratory failure in June, was honored with the Gabriel Figueroa Lifetime Achievement Award at the fifth annual Los Angeles Latino International Film Festival on Saturday. "As far as people who have given their lives to Latin cinema, he was one of the giants of all times," said actor Edward James Olmos, the festival's artistic director. Quinn starred in 100 feature films, and earned Oscars for roles in "Viva Zapata!" (1952) and "Lust for Life" (1956). He also portrayed the fierce Bedouin leader in "Lawrence of Arabia" in 1962 and the earthy hero of the 1964 film "Zorba the Greek."
