Biography of Quentin Tarantino
Quentin Tarantino is an American director, screenwriter, and actor, primarily working in the independent film genre. His films are successful at the box office and regularly receive nominations for prestigious awards such as the Oscars and Golden Globes. Quentin's directing is full of distinctive features: shooting style, reverse structure of episodes, content of dialogues, and a unique aesthetic of violent scenes.
Childhood
Quentin Jerome Tarantino was born on March 27, 1963, in Knoxville, Tennessee. His mother, 15-year-old Connie McHugh, who graduated high school as an external student, wanted official recognition of independence from her parents. She thought that marriage would help her achieve this. She married unsuccessful actor Tony Tarantino, but the couple separated before Quentin was born. Connie found out about her pregnancy after her lover had left for an unknown destination. Neither she nor her grown-up son ever searched for Tony.
Quentin's father wanted to become an actor, inspired by his own father, Dominic Tarantino, who acted in many westerns in the early '30s. Tarantino has mixed roots: Italian, Irish, and Cherokee Indian.I don't know my father. I know he wanted to be an actor. Well, he's an actor now, but only because he has my last name. He was never a part of my life, I never met him.




Directorial Career
Quentin Tarantino's first film was a 36-minute monochrome short titled "My Best Friend's Birthday." Quentin worked on this film for two years (from 1984 to 1986) in his free time from working at a video rental store. The main roles were played by Quentin himself and his friend Craig Hamann, who also co-wrote the screenplay.
















The release of "The Hateful Eight" (2015) at one point became unlikely. Tarantino was furious over the script leak online, especially since copies were only in the hands of a close and limited circle.He told me that if I acted like a sweet boy, the audience would tell me to go to hell, that this wasn't 'Titanic.'


In 2018, the director worked on a film about Charles Manson and his cult called "The Family." The film "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" hit the screens in the summer of 2019, starring Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio (their duo was called the best since Robert Redford and Paul Newman), and Margot Robbie.



Actor, Screenwriter, Producer
Quentin's career spans a wide variety of fields in cinema. Even before his directorial debut, he appeared in "The Golden Girls" (1985) with Betty White. Tarantino often takes on small roles and cameos, including in his own films.

Gaining influence and possessing a distinct taste, Tarantino produced films he didn't direct: "Hostel" (2005), "Planet Terror" (2007), "Hell Ride" (2008), and others. They vary greatly in quality, acting skills, and other details but are stylistically close to Quentin.
Quentin Tarantino's Personal Life
Tarantino was not married for a long time and has no children. He repeatedly stated that he gave up the chance to have a family in order to make films. The creative process requires freedom, and a spouse and children demand attention and time, which the director doesn't have. However, he never labeled himself as an inveterate bachelor or child-free.



On July 2, 2022, Quentin and Daniella became parents again. This time they had a daughter.
Quentin Tarantino Now
Quentin is set to direct the next installment of the Star Trek franchise. This major studio project is an unusual undertaking for Tarantino. Karl Urban, who has long been part of this sci-fi universe, believes that the director will not only fit into the new format but will also be able to showcase the true dangers of space.
It is also known that Quentin is producing a film under the working title Django/Zorro.
