Glendale resident Eduardo Palomo, a well-known Mexican television

star and film actor, died last week in Los Angeles.

Palomo, 41, died of an apparent heart attack Thursday while eating

at a restaurant in Los Angeles, according to reports. The popular

Mexican actor moved to California in 1999 to pursue a career in

Hollywood. He was born May 13, 1962.

In addition to acting, Palomo was also a director, writer and a

singer. He was scheduled to be the guest speaker Sunday at the

Hispanic Film Festival in Los Angeles.

Palomo’s best-known role was as Juan de Diablo in “Corazon

Salvaje.” He appeared in the film with long black hair, which became

his trademark look, according to reports.

Palomo’s long list of television credits include the shows “Mi

Querido Tom Mix,” “Por Amor” and “Ramona.”

He appeared in “Bandidos” in 1995 and in “La Mujer de Benjamin” in

1991. Palomo appeared as Chief Lazareno in this year’s television

series “Kingpin” and also worked on “A Day Without a Mexican,” a 2004

project reportedly in post-production.

Palomo is survived by his wife, Mexican actress Karina Ricco; and

children, Fiona, 6, and Luca, 4.

Information about funeral arrangements was not available Tuesday.
