Friends and family on Monday were mourning actor Francesco Quinn, 48, who died after suffering a suspected heart attack near his Malibu home.
One of 13 children of Academy Award-winner Anthony Quinn, Francesco and his son Max, 9, were running home after buying a kite to take to the beach Friday when he collapsed in the street, a family member said.
Paramedics took Quinn to Santa Monica-UCLA Medical Center, where he was declared dead.
Julie McCann Quinn, his former wife, said Quinn was "the most entertaining person in the world, who told the best stories. He made everyone laugh."
In addition to his film and TV work, including the film "Platoon" and the TV series "24" and "The Shield", Quinn also was a cycling, scooter and motorcycling enthusiast with an off-screen passion for all things two-wheeled, friends said.
"The only time I drive a car is if I have to," Quinn told Motorcycle USA magazine in 2009.
