Deadline first reported the news, saying Liotta died in his sleep in the Dominican Republican, where he was filming a movie. TMZ reported that no foul play is suspected.
Liotta was reportedly engaged to be married, and had several film projects in the works.
“Goodfellas,” released in 1990, catapulted Liotta into stardom along side Robert De DeNiro and Joe Pesci. Liotta played mobster Henry Hill.
The movie is widely regarded as one of the best films ever made. It was nominated for six Oscars, including Best Picture.
