Joaquin Murrieta - The Man Whose Life Provided Inspiration for Zorro
Zorro is one of the icons of 20th century culture. Although he is a fictional character, his story was based on biographies of at least three men: Juan Nepomuceno Cortina, Tiburcio Vasquez, and the most important to the legend – Joaquin Murrieta.
His name was used in the movies with Antonio Banderas, whose character's surname is Murrieta. Moreover, his son is Joaquin. The premiere of the movies ''The Mask of Zorro'' in 1998 and ''The Legend of Zorro'' in 2005, brought back to life the legend of Joaquin Murrieta.
