Biography Quinn was born in Yardley, Pennsylvania, United States. Aileen was introduced to“show business”by her mother, Helenann, who was a TV, Radio, and Stage Singer/Actress when Aileen was young. Aileen begged to audition for a part in a local community theater production ofAnnie Get Your Gunand won a part.
