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. pic.twitter.com/3gNjJFTAne— Lorraine Bracco (@Lorraine_Bracco) May 26, 2022

Ray Liotta could play in Good Fellas as a vicious gangster and could play as a lovable character in the Muppets. He was an amazing actor, man, and great friend. pic.twitter.com/2hzErLHKO3
