As every Sunday, the appointment with Domenica In on Rai 1 returns. From Enrica Bonaccorti to Luca Barbareschi, passing through Bobby Solo and Nicola Di Bari, many guests will be present today in the living room of Mara Venier. Among these, also the actor and director Danny Quinn.

Danny Quinn, born Daniele Anthony Quinn, was born in Rome on April 16, 1964 (he is 59 years old). Model, actor and Italian director, he is the son of the famous Mexican-born American actor Anthony Quinn and the Italian actress Jolanda Addolori. He works in both the United States and Italy. One of his first works is Stradivari, directed by Giacomo Battiato; in this 1989 film, dedicated to the luthier Antonio Stradivari, he acts alongside his father, his older brother, Francesco Quinn, and his younger brother, Lorenzo Quinn. In 1989 he also played the role of Renzo Tramaglino in the TV miniseries I promessi sposi, directed by Salvatore Nocita, and also presented the Sanremo Festival 1989 with Rosita Celentano, Gianmarco Tognazzi and Paola Dominguin. The following year, in addition to being an actor, he was a screenwriter, casting director, producer and director of the film David and Lola. Among his other Italian works, we remember the film La spiaggia (1999), directed by Mauro Cappelloni, and the TV miniseries Valeria medico legale (2000), directed by Gianfrancesco Lazotti, and Cuccioli (2002), directed by Paolo Poeti. In 2004 he won the first edition of the reality show La fattoria, hosted by Daria Bignardi. In 2007 he was one of the actors in the film Go Go Tales, directed by Abel Ferrara. On February 15, 2013, he returned to the stage of the Teatro Ariston during the fourth evening of the Sanremo Festival, as a guest together with the other three hosts of the 1989 edition. In 2019 he was awarded the America Award by the Italia USA Foundation at the Chamber of Deputies.

He is very reserved, here's what we know about Danny Quinn's private life. The actor is married to Nancy Maamary. The man became a father for the first time at the age of 53. His beautiful wife gave birth to a baby girl named Luna. The woman is an aristocrat from a Lebanese family that is related to the Saudi royals. The woman's sister is the new wife of the King of Saudi Arabia. Before marrying Nancy Maamary, Danny Quinn was married to Lauren Michael Holly (Bristol, October 28, 1963), an American actress with Canadian citizenship. The two were married from 1991 to 1993. In 1996 the woman then married Jim Carrey, but the marriage lasted less than a year.

Danny also has 12 other brothers and sisters. Their names are Chris, Christina, Catalina, Duncan, Valentina born from the first marriage of the father and Francesco - who died in 2011 - and Lorenzo born from the relationship with Addolori. Then there are Sean, Alex, Antonia, Ryan and another who, however, did not want to have ties with the rest of the family.

Danny Quinn then spoke about his father's inheritance. Where are the two Oscars won by dad? It's a delicate topic because unfortunately my father left his inheritance to his last wife: he is also buried on private property. In America you can leave the inheritance even to the cat ... It can be unpleasant, but more for sentimental things, for art: my father was a sculptor and painter, he made many works. I don't live with regrets. Of course, it would have been better if he hadn't had other children outside of marriage.
