Their first-born, Gian-Carlo, quickly became a regular presence in his father’s films, as did their subsequent children, Roman and Sofia . After acting in their father’s films and growing up on sets, all would go into the movies. Gian-Carlo, who’s seen in the background of many of his father’s films and had begun doing second-unit photography, died at the age of 22 in a 1986 boating accident. He was killed while riding in a boat piloted by Griffin O’Neal, son of Ryan O’Neal, who was found guilty of negligence.
