As Page Six notes, although Mira Sorvino is the most well-known of the late Paul Sorvino’s children, he also had a son named Michael and a daughter called Amanda. All three kids were products of the beloved actor’s first marriage, to Lorraine Davis. Closer Weekly confirms the two were married from 1966 to 1988, with Paul subsequently moving on with second wife Vanessa Arico, with whom he tied the knot in 1991.
Per IMDb, Davis also works, or at least worked, in entertainment with a credit as a crew member on the 1985 movie “The Black Cauldron.” My Heritage, meanwhile, describes her as a “drama therapist.” She’s also an activist. In January 2021, Mira, who consistently maintained a strong relationship with father Paul, tweeted, “My mother Lorraine Davis Sorvino marched on Washington w/the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., as a very young woman.” She continued, “Dr. King was one of my father Paul Sorvino’s greatest heroes. For me he is the singular most influential American in my life, my moral education, my inspiration.” Otherwise, little is publicly known about Davis. As for Paul’s second wife, Arico, she works as a real estate agent, as reported by The Ancestory. Like Davis, Arico has remained firmly under the radar since splitting from Paul in 1996.

She described her beloved husband as “the love of my life and one of the greatest performers to ever grace the screen and stage.” Dee Dee admitted, “our hearts are broken.” Paul’s daughter is fellow actor Mira Sorvino, who counts roles in the likes of “Romy and Michelle’s High School Reunion” among her impressive résumé. His celebrated career, meanwhile, took in everything from Oliver Stone’s “Nixon” to Baz Luhrmann’s “Romeo + Juliet.”

As Dee Dee told Page Six simply, “It was just us.” They returned to Neil Cavuto’s show after the fact, with the host joking he expected an invite to the wedding since technically, Cavuto is responsible for getting them together. Paul’s passing clearly affected Dee Dee terribly. She wrote on Twitter, alongside photos of the two in happier times, “I am completely devastated. The love of my life & the most wonderful man who has ever lived is gone. I am heartbroken.”
