Emmy-winning actor Ray Liotta has passed away, leaving behind fiancée Jacy Nittolo and Karsen, his 23-year-old daughter.
The 67-year-old actor, who had starred as mobster Henry Hill in the 1990s biographical movie “Goodfellas,” died in his sleep, Deadline reported.
Liotta was in the Dominican Republic at the time of his Death, where he had been shooting for the film “Dangerous Waters.”
Onlookers who saw Liotta in Los Angeles when he had gone outside in March noticed that he looked “noticeably pale” and “needed help from the valet putting on his jacket,” British outlet The Daily Mail reported.
A source told the outlet that Liotta was “slow and steady on his feet,” and his 46-year-old fiancée was helping him ferry the bags from the car to the hotel.
Tributes from fans and fellow actors flooded social media after news of Liotta’s Death went public.
“I am utterly shattered to hear this terrible news about my Ray. I can be anywhere in the world & people will come up & tell me their favorite movie is Goodfellas,” Liotta’s Goodfellas co-star Lorraine Bracco wrote in a Thursday post on Twitter.
