Ray Liotta is dead at the
age of 67, Deadline reports. The actor was working on the movie Dangerous
Waters in the Dominican Republic when he died in his sleep, his publicist
told NBC News. He is survived by his 23-year-old daughter, Karsen, whom he
shares with ex-wife Michelle Grace. He was engaged to Jacy Nittolo.
The New Jersey native is best
known for his role as Henry Hill in 1990’s Goodfellas. In September
2021, Liotta looked back on the movie that helped skyrocket his
career, telling The Guardian that he never planned on becoming an
actor until a girl he was interested in told him to audition for school plays.
“I thought I’d be in construction,” he confessed.
Though his list of credits is
lengthy, Liotta knew he couldn’t shake his Goodfellas legacy.
“If you got one movie that people remember, that’s great. If you got two,
that’s fantastic,” he told the outlet, joking that his daughter might be the
only person who didn’t love his performance. “Well, she wasn’t into my
voiceover so much. She was like, ‘Oh Dad, will you shut up already?’”
