Remembering Ray Liotta’s 10 Best Film Performances: From ‘Goodfellas’ to ‘Field of Dreams’

The 'Goodfellas' Scene That Made Ray Liotta a Superstar

Goodfellas features a memorable scene where Henry (Ray Liotta) and the crew take a detour on the way to bury a mobster to visit Tommy’s (Joe Pesci’s) mother. In typical Italian fashion, Tommy’s mother offers the boys plenty of good food and even better company. This scene was heavily improvised, and features Martin Scorsese’s own mother Catherine Scorsese who (alongside side De Niro’s “Hoof”) steals the show. | Industria
