Quentin Tarantino

01 Quentin Tarantino was born March 27, 1963, in Knoxville, Tennessee.

02 His full name is Quentin Jerome Tarantino.

03 He is the only child of Connie McHugh, who is part Cherokee and part Irish, and actor Tony Tarantino, who left the family before Quentin was born.

04 Tarantino claims that he was simply bored by school, and so dropped out at the age of 16 to devote his life to movies.

05 His formative years were largely spent working in a video rental store.

06 He worked as an usher at an adult film theater for a time.

07 With no experience as an actor, Tarantino listed phony credits on his resumé, saying he’d had roles in the films Dawn of the Dead (1978) and King Lear (1987).
