Read Martin Scorsese's Touching Tribute To Goodfellas Star Ray Liotta
Legendary director Martin Scorsese writes a moving tribute to his Goodfellas lead, the late Ray Liotta. Adapted from Nicholas Pileggi's nonfiction book Wiseguy, Scorsese's seminal gangster film follows the real-life story of Henry Hill Jr. (Liotta) as he rises through the ranks of the mob with his associates Jimmy Conway (Robert De Niro) and Tommy DeVito (Joe Pesci). Also starring Lorraine Bracco and Paul Sorvino, Goodfellas is widely recognized as one of the best films in the gangster genre, often ranked right alongside Francis Ford Coppola's The Godfather. However, despite garnering overwhelming praise from critics at the time of its release, Goodfellas only scored one Academy Award, winning Best Supporting Actor for Pesci.
