Actor Anthony Quinn and his wife Katherine De Mille, daughter of legendary film director Cecil B. De Mille, had a two and a half year old son, Christopher. The family was living on De Mille Drive in the Laughlin Park neighborhood of the Los Feliz district.
On the 15th (the Ides of March), Christopher went next door to comic actor W.C. Field's home. Fields kept a circular fish pond filled with his model boat collection. Christopher went to play with the boats, fell in the pond, and drowned.
Subsequently, Fields had the boats destroyed and the pool filled in. Christoper Quinn was buried at Hollywood Forever Cemetery.

ReplyDeletebeing responsible for the safety of the child, she should have been charged for the youths death.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a tragedy. I'm sure the parents never got over losing their first child. Children can drown in only a few of inches of water at that age. Someone in charge just wasn't watching him.
