Two-time Academy Award winner Anthony Quinn Friday filed for divorce before the First Civil Court of Judge Lorenzo Holguin in Juarez.
Quinn, who gave his name as Antonio Rodolfo Quinn, was represented by Lic. Jose Amador y Trias.
The actor was believed to have left El Paso soon after his appearance to file for a quickie Mexican divorce from his wife, Katherine Lester DeMille Quinn, daughter of late movie mogul Cecil B. DeMille.
Married on Oct.21, 1937 in Beverly Hills Calif., the couple had four children, including Duncan Christopher, 19, and Valentin Andrea, 12. Quinn did not reveal the names of his two other children, both minors.
According to informed sources, Quinn, who listed his age as 49, said he had been separated from his wife for about a year.
He listed incompatibility as grounds for divorce.
