Paul Sorvino, the Italian-American actor best known for his role as Paul Cicero in “Goodfellas,” has passed away at the age of 83. Though he often took on tough guy roles, Paul was a loving family man off-screen and the father of three children. He often talked fondly of his daughter, actress Mira Sorvino, publicly praising her and her accomplishments in interviews. He even broke down crying when she thanked him in her Oscars acceptance speech in 1996.
Aside from his children, the actor has also openly expressed his adoration for his wife, Dee Dee Sorvino. Dee Dee, Paul’s third wife (per The New York Times), was by his side when he passed away and was one of the first to confirm his death in a tribute to her late husband. She wrote on Twitter, “I am completely devastated. The love of my life & the most wonderful man who has ever lived is gone. I am heartbroken.” Dee Dee appeared to play an important role in Paul’s final years, but who is she and how did she win over the legendary actor?

Impressed by Paul’s cooking, she released a cookbook alongside him in 2017 called “Pinot, Pasta, and Parties” (per Goodreads), and up until the actor’s death, Dee Dee seemed to have spent a lot of time with her husband. Just before announcing his passing, she posted a photo on Twitter of herself and Paul holding hands and celebrating National Tequila Day.
