Ray Liotta, the actor who broke out in Hollywood in Martin Scorsese’s #Goodfellas and starred in #FieldOfDreams, has died at 67. latimes.com/entertainment-…
The star died in his sleep in the Dominican Republic while shooting the film “Dangerous Waters,” Deadline and TMZ reported Thursday. latimes.com/entertainment-… 
The soft-spoken New Jersey native got his first break in 1978 on the soap opera “Another World.” He spent about five years on the casting circuit before meeting Jonathan Demme and becoming the lean, mean menace of the 1986 film “Something Wild.” latimes.com/entertainment-…
He landed several movie roles after that, but his best-known role remains mobster Henry Hill in Martin Scorsese’s 1990 gangster classic “GoodFellas” alongside Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci. latimes.com/entertainment-…
“People to this day still come and talk to me about ‘GoodFellas,’” Liotta told The Times in 2015. latimes.com/entertainment/…
Liotta made the Scorsese movie while his mother was dying of cancer, which shaped his memory of the role: “She passed away in the middle of filming. Doing that movie and that character was a dream come true.” latimes.com/entertainment/…
Liotta is survived by his fianceé, Jacy Nittolo, and daughter Karsen. latimes.com/entertainment-…
