Recently, Quentin Tarantino made headlines when he revealed that he's stuck to his childhood vow of by no means giving her mom a penny from his $120 million net worth. The director used to be scarred through his mother's mocking feedback about his screenplay writing in school when he used to be 12. Now at 58, Quentin has indubitably proven to her that he was onto something large.
The world-renowned director-producer-screenwriter-producer-actor-author has made at least 26 motion pictures with about 10 of them as award-winning hits. But was his mom, Connie Zastoupil, fully unsupportive of his profession? Here's everything we know about her and her relationship with Quentin all over the years.
Who Is Quentin Tarantino's Mother, Connie Zastoupil?
Connie McHugh-Zastoupil is a 75-year-old nurse based in Tennessee. She gave start to Quentin, her first child when she was just 16 years old. She was once in brief married to the director's father, Tony Tarantino, who used to be a law student in Los Angeles. He was 5 years older than her. But because either one of them were still younger, they cut up quickly after their son was born. After that, Connie decided to move again to Tennessee the place she attended a nursing college.
Following her graduation, Connie headed again to LA along with her son. There she met piano bar musician, Curtis Zastoupil who she in the end remarried. Curt legally followed Quentin and handled him like a real son. He supported the young boy's love for cinema via often taking him to the film theater. But it is from his biological father that Quentin were given his knack for appearing.
Who Is Quentin Tarantino's Father, Tony Tarantino?
In 1960, ability agent Henry Wilson presented to present 20-year-old Tony Tarantino an performing occupation. But after pronouncing that he'd must sleep with him first, Tony punched Wilson in the face, knocking him right down to the floor. As a outcome, Wilson blacklisted Tony from Hollywood and New York acting gigs.
Determined to pursue acting, Tony modified his name to Tony Maro and used to be able to get jobs as an additional in Paramount. But in the end, he used to be kicked out of the lot when the manufacturers came upon about his true identification. Tony, 81, also labored as a producer — credited for the films, Prism and Underbelly Blues.
In 2010, Quentin stated he's by no means had a dating with his father at all. "Well, I never knew my father — That's the thing. I never knew him," he mentioned. "He wanted to be an actor — Now he's an actor only because he has my last name. But he was never part of my life. I didn't know him. I've never met him."
What Quentin Tarantino's Mother Really Thinks Of His Career
Quentin mentioned in The Momentwith Brian Koppelman that his mother as soon as scolded him for doing his writing as an alternative of his schoolwork. "In the middle of her little tirade, she said, 'Oh, and by the way, this little 'writing career' — with the finger quotes and everything — this little 'writing career' that you're doing? That s--- is f---ing over," he told Brian. The Once Upon a Time in Hollywood director was once deeply insulted by way of that remark.
He persisted, "When she said that to me in that sarcastic way, I was in my head and I go: 'OK, lady, when I become a successful writer, you will never see penny one from my success, there will be no house for you. There's no vacation for you, no Elvis Cadillac for mommy. You get nothing. Because you said that." To nowadays, Quentin stated he's by no means financially supported his mother. He best "helped her out with a jam with the IRS" once.
The podcast host tried to modify Quentin's view at the topic, saying that his mom's words no less than "drove him" to success. But consistent with the Oscar winner, "There are consequences for your words as you deal with your children. Remember there are consequences for your sarcastic tone about what's meaningful to them." Maybe that's not this kind of bad factor to face for. However, Quentin's mother stated the tale went "viral without full context."
"Regarding my son Quentin – I support him, I'm proud of him and love him and his growing new family," Connie told USA Today. "It gave me great joy to dance at his wedding and receive his news upon the birth of my Grandson Leo." She added that she "does not wish to participate in this salacious transactional media frenzy." Obviously, Connie and Quentin are on excellent terms. The Pulp Fiction director simply has his personal principles.
