Arthur Quinlan (15 January 1921 – 22 December 2012)[1] was an Irish[2][3] raconteur and print journalist with The Irish Times. Known for his interviews with politicians, royalty and film stars in a career spanning more than 50 years, he was widely regarded as a very important figure in his field, and was both the first Irishman to get a jet across the Atlantic Ocean to New York in 1958 and the only western journalist to have interviewed Che Guevara.[2] Considered a "master of executing international scoops", his work was sent across the world.[3]
