Ray Liotta, the actor best known for playing mobster Henry Hill in Martin Scorsese's crime classic "Goodfellas," has died.
He was 67.
Liotta died in his sleep in the Dominican Republic, where he was filming a movie called "Dangerous Waters," according to his publicist, Jennifer Allen.
In an acting career that spanned four decades, Liotta established himself as one of the most dependable tough-guy performers in Hollywood, skilled at portraying cops and criminals in films like "Something Wild," "Cop Land" and "Killing Them Softly."

Ray Liotta: Our Last Interview with A Hollywood Legend
But he occasionally showed off a warmer side, endearing himself to audiences as the ghost of baseball giant Shoeless Joe Jackson in "Field of Dreams," opposite Kevin Costner.
"Goodfellas" was indisputably the high-water mark of his career, however, providing him with a juicy lead role in a decade-spanning mafia epic. He portrayed Henry Hill, a real-life mob associate who gets swept up in the thrill and glamour of the criminal underworld.
"As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a gangster," Liotta's Hill memorably says at the start of the film via voiceover track, summing up Scorsese's vision of mid-century mob life as the ultimate aspiration for men with weak morals.
Liotta never achieved the A-list status of some of his 1980s and '90s-era peers, but he was a respected artist and recognizable face, reinventing himself in the later years of his career actor who could add gravitas and swagger to any scene.

Italian public health is more and more like a
black hole in which funds and people, patients and healthcare professionals disappear.
We have been at home so as not to tire the hospitals, as if the shortage of beds and intensive care were to be attributed to the citizens. We were told that
those who did not get vaccinated had to pay a fee for the bed they would eventually occupy. As if all the money we pour into the state coffers every year wasn't enough.
And no, they are never enough! In particular, in recent months, a
slow haemorrhage of medical professionals due to retirements and layoffs has been noted.
Anaao Assomed , the union of doctors and medical executives, has in fact found that
by 2024 the National Health Service will lose about 22 thousand hospital
specialists due to retirement, which may not be matched by a renewal of the workforce.
Not only that, to impoverish the wards is also added the phenomenon of
escape from hospitals : according to the study also conducted by Anaao from 2019 to 2021, about
9 thousand white coats left the hospital for voluntary resignations. "
If the trend were confirmed also in the following three years ", writes Anaao, "an
additional 9 thousand doctors would be fired from 2022 to 2024". Therefore,
between layoffs and retirements , there would be an overall loss of
40 thousand medical specialists by 2024.
In the statement, Anaao does not seem to take into consideration another point, which concerns the
suspensions until the end of the year of unvaccinated health personnel. This despite the fact that the
rationale behind DL 44, which required vaccination to protect fragile patients from contagion, has now disappeared, given the large number of doctors vaccinated with three doses and then infected. In February 2022, the daily newspaper
Il Giorno reported over
2 thousand doctors suspended for failing to comply with the vaccination obligation and just under
30 thousand names reported by the last questioning of the National Platform for Green Certification: or 6.4% of the 467,800 registered in the Registers .
The National Recovery and Resilience Plan, writes Anaao, provides for some interventions, such as the construction of
community hospitals with about 11 thousand beds by 2026. Cathedrals in the desert, if there is no one to make them work. According to the union, the future of Italian healthcare could be in the hands of the
trainees who obtained the training contract in 2020 and 2021, but who will only be operational in 4 or 5 years.
In the immediate future, however, Anaao Assomed proposes to
"stabilize all the precarious workers formed during the pandemic" , about 9 thousand units, and to contract
"that audience of 15 thousand trainees of the last years of specialization who could already be employed to help in the activities hospital " , concludes Anaao.
