Eduardo Estrada Palomo (Spanish pronunciation: [eˈðwaɾðo paˈlomo]; (México City; May 13, 1962 – Los Angeles; November 6, 2003) was a Mexican actor. Palomo became famous across Mexico and Latin America after his 1993 Juan del Diablo characterization in Corazón salvaje.
Career
He started acting in theatre at the age of 12 and found fame with the success of Corazón salvaje.[1] He went on to make several other successful telenovelas and films in México. He also recorded an album titled Mover El Tiempo in early 1994.
He was determined not to star in any other soap opera after Ramona (co-starring with Kate del Castillo), but the sequel to Corazón salvaje was something he could not refuse. He was working on a Los Angeles production of the play Una Pareja Con Ángel (written by Palomo and previously produced in Mexico) when he died.
Palomo was in the process of "crossing-over" to American television audiences where he guest starred on shows such as Arrested Development, Kingpin and was to star in a CBS series. His last role was in A Day Without a Mexican (2004).[1]
Personal life
Palomo was one of Jesús Estrada and Miliza Palomo's sons. His siblings were brother Jesús Jr. and sister Susana.
Palomo attended the National Autonomous University of Mexico to study graphic design, but dropped out to pursue acting.[1] He moved from his native México to pursue a career in Hollywood.[1][2]
Palomo was married to the singer and actress Carina Ricco and had two children.[1] He was a Scientologist.[1]
Death
On the night of November 6, 2003, Palomo was having dinner with friends at a restaurant in Los Angeles when he suffered a heart attack.[1] He reportedly grasped his chest and collapsed, and was rushed to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, but could not be revived.[1] He was 41 years old.[1]
