Actress Lorraine Bracco played Liotta’s wife in “GoodFellas.” When she heard about his death, she shared her feelings on Twitter. She wrote, “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. Then they always ask what was the best part of making that movie. My response has always been the same … Ray Liotta.”

Liotta’s full name was Raymond Allen Liotta. He was born in Newark on December 18, 1954. He lived in an orphanage when he was a baby. At six months old, he was adopted by Mary and Alfred Liotta.

Later in life, Liotta was able to learn more about his biological family. In 2014, he told The Hollywood Reporter, “I found my birth mother and found out I have, not an identical twin, but a half-brother, five half-sisters and a full sister that I didn’t know about until 15 years ago.”

As a child, Liotta enjoyed sports. In college, he studied acting. He got his start on the NBC soap opera “Another World.”
