Actor Paul Sorvino, best known as Paulie in “Goodfellas has passed away this Monday Morning.
Paul’s wife, Dee Dee, was by his side in Indiana when he passed. The death was due to natural causes.
He was the father of Oscar-winning actress Mira Sorvino. Mira had put out a Tweet on social media releasing the news.
My father the great Paul Sorvino has passed. My heart is rent asunder- a life of love and joy and wisdom with him is over. He was the most wonderful father. I love him so much. I’m sending you love in the stars Dad as you ascend.
Paul was very close to his daughter. He even put out a statement several years ago when Harvey Weinstein tried to blacklist her from Hollywood. Saying “If we came across his on the street he’ll be lying on the floor.” Staing, “My daughter’s a courageous and wonderful human being, and doesn’t deserve to have been treated that way by this pig.”
He also racked up over 100 acting credits to his name. He was a fantastic actor and our hearts go out to him and his family.
RIP PAISAN .
