On Thursday it was announced that De Niro’s Goodfellas co-star has died in his sleep in the Dominican Republic – where he had been filming a new movie.
The legendary gangster actor passed away on the Caribbean island halfway through recording Dangerous Waters, about a sailing holiday spiraling out of control.
De Niro has not yet made a public statement regarding Liotta’s passing.
Liotta was perhaps best known for his incredible performance in Martin Scorsese’s 1990 classic Goodfellas, where he played Henry Hill while De Niro took on the role of Jimmy Conway.

The film – which premiered at the 47th Venice International Film Festival on September 9, 1990 – follows Hill’s rise and fall as a mob associate from 1955 to 1980.
The movie was a critical success, earning six Oscar nominations, including Best Picture, with Joe Pesci, 79, winning for Supporting Actor and Martin Scorsese, 79, getting his third nomination for Best Director.
Lorraine Bracco, 67, who played Liotta’s wife in the mafia film paid respects to her former co-star on Twitter, writing: ‘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,’ she wrote.
