Hollywood star Ray Liotta has died in his sleep aged 67, the Mirror reports. The actor, best known for starring in Goodfellas, passed away in the Dominican Republic, where he was shooting his next film Dangerous Waters, according to his publicist Jennifer Allen.
Liotta’s fiancee Jacy Nittolo was on location at the time of his death. He leaves behind his daughter Karsen, whom he shares with his ex-wife Michelle Grace.
The actor starred as Shoeless Joe Jackson in the 1989 film Field Of Dreams and as Henry Hill in Martin Scorsese's Goodfellas, which he starred in opposite Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci.
In recent years, Liotta appeared in Marriage Story and No Sudden Move and starred alongside Taron Egerton in the upcoming Apple TV series Black Bird. He recently finished filming The Cocaine Bear, a film directed by Elizabeth Banks which is scheduled to be released in February next year.
Liotta, who grew up in Newark, New Jersey, was last pictured in public at the beginning of May in Pacific Palisades in Los Angeles, California. The actor and his fiancée Jacy were enjoying an early dinner at an Italian restaurant called Spruzzo.
He was born in 1954 and abandoned at an orphanage. At six months old, he was adopted by township clerk Mary and auto-parts store owner Alfred Liotta.
