Paul Sorvino has died at age 83.
It is more than 30 years since the lugubrious-faced charmer with a smile as wide as Florida played Paul Cicero in Goodfellas.
What is probably one of the greatest gangster movies also starred Ray Liotta, Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci, and went on to become a cult classic.
Paul’s publicist, Roger Neal said the legendary actor died of natural causes with his wife of eight years, Dee Dee Benkie, was by his side.
‘Our hearts are broken, there will never be another Paul Sorvino, he was the love of my life, and one of the greatest performers to ever grace the screen and stage,’ Dee Dee said in a statement.
In 2007, Sorvino launched Paul Sorvino Foods to market a range of pasta sauces. Based on his mother’s recipe. Then he became part owner in Janson-Beckett Cosmeceuticals, best known for their top selling BOTOX alternative.
He has three children from his first marriage to Lorraine Davis and was married to the political pundit, Benkie, at the time of his death.
