Eleanor Coppola dead at 87<\/p>\n

The 87-year-old award-winning filmmaker, who had been married to ‘The Godfather’ director Francis Ford Coppola<\/a> since 1963, died on Friday (12.04.24) at home in Rutherford, California, surrounded by her family.<\/p>\n

No cause of death has been given.<\/p>\n

Eleanor and Francis met while working on the set of his 1963 horror film ‘Dementia 13’. <\/p>\n

They went on to have three children together, son Gian-Carlo \u2013 who died in a boating accident in 1986 at the age of 22 \u2013 son Roman, 58, and daughter Sofia, 55.<\/p>\n

\nEleanor won an Emmy in 1992 for Outstanding Individual Achievement \u2013 Informational Programming \u2013 Directing for her behind the scenes documentary of her husband’s 1978 movie ‘Apocalypse Now’.<\/p>\n

\nSpeaking about ‘Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker\u2019s Apocalypse’ in 1997, she told Deadline: “The beginning of the film idea for me was certainly documenting ‘Apocalypse Now’. I had no idea. I\u2019d made some little art films in the early \u201970s, but when I got this camera in the Philippines I was just mesmerised, looking through the viewfinder. I really responded to that, so I made different documentaries, because I always loved to shoot.”<\/p>\n

\nAll three of her and Francis’ children appeared in his movies.<\/p>\n

\nGian-Carlo had been working on second-unit photography before his death, Roman has directed several movies and is president of his father\u2019s film company, American Zoetrope and Sofia is the acclaimed filmmaker of movies including ‘Lost In Translation’ and ‘Priscilla’, which she dedicated to her mother.<\/p>\n

\nShe skipped the New York Film Festival for the screening of her film ‘Priscilla’ to spend time with her mother in October last year.<\/p>\n

\nIn a statement read by producer Youree Henley at the time, Sofia said: “I\u2019m so sorry to not be there with you, but I\u2019m with my mother, to whom this film is dedicated.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
