Meet Francis Ford Coppola's 3 Showbiz-Bound Children, Including One Who Died Tragically at 22 ...Saudi Arabia

News by : (Parade) -

Coppola's latest film is Megalopolis, which premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in 2024. This was a deeply personal passion project that he financed himself, using money earned from the Coppola wine business—he even sold off part of the winery to do so.

In August 2025, Coppola was admitted to a hospital in Rome for a heart procedure. He reassured fans that he was OK. “Da Dada (what my kids call me) is fine, taking an opportunity while in Rome to do the update of my 30-year-old afib procedure with its inventor, a great Italian doctor — Dr. Andrea Natalie,” he said in an Instagram post.

Gian-Carlo Coppola

Gian-Carlo was following in Francis's footsteps and learning the family business. He helped produce his dad's movies The Outsiders and Rumble Fish. 

The loss was absolutely devastating for the Coppola family. But Gian-Carlo's filmmaking legacy lives on through his daughter, Gia Coppola. She’s directed films like Palo Alto and The Last Showgirl.

Roman Coppola

But Roman really found his niche when, like his cousin Jason Schwartzman, he started working closely with Wes Anderson. Roman has co-written several of Anderson’s films, including the screenplay for Moonrise Kingdom, which was nominated for Best Original Screenplay in 2013. He also did some voice acting parts for the animated films Fantastic Mr. Fox and Isle of Dogs.

Sofia Coppola

As she told the New York Times: “It was embarrassing to be thrown out to the public in that kind of way. But it wasn’t my dream to be an actress, so I wasn’t crushed. I had other interests. It didn’t destroy me.”

Eleanor was a filmmaker herself. In her documentary Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker's Apocalypse, she documented the chaotic making of Apocalypse Now, and shows just how insane and difficult that production was. Sofia called it “One of the best films on the creative process.” Eleanor also directed the films Paris Can Wait and Love Is Love Is Love.
