Most people believe he was not a real person; he was just a fictional character in a song written by Bob Dylan in 1967; "The Mighty Quinn (Quinn the Eskimo)" became a huge hit for the vocal group Manfred Mann. Some people do believe that the name Quinn refers to actor Anthony Quinn, who played the role of an eskimo in a 1960 movie Dylan may have seen. Dylan has been ambiguous about this-- he sometimes has said it's just a silly little nursery rhyme, but at other times, he has acknowledged being familiar with the movies of Anthony Quinn.
