The world is mourning the unexpected death of the great actor Ray Leota, who passed away in his sleep on May 26, 2022, while filming in the Dominican Republic. For more than 25 years, he lived in a stunning mansion in Pacific Palisades, California and was still living in the same area despite selling this grand estate in 2020. Either way, it will be a place full of memories of the late film star. Ray Leota was an actor and film producer who despite having 126 film credits was best known for his role in the renowned 1990 Martin Scorsese flick Goodfellas, where he played New York mobster Henry Hill. Aside from that hit movie where he starred alongside Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci, Ray also was well known for playing shoeless Joe Jackson in the movie Field of Dreams. Throughout the time of his unexpected death, Leota actually had several upcoming projects, according to IMDb, including the Elizabeth Banks directed movie Cocaine Bear, set to be released in February 2023.

Ray was only 67 when he recently passed away in his sleep and he was filming in the Dominican Republic, the movie Dangerous Waters. Other details and the cause of death are not yet known but there seem to be no signs of foul play. Ray's last known public moments depicted happy times for the critically acclaimed actor, most spent with his fiancé, J.C. Nitello. Early in May, the pair was spotted in Good Spirits walking in Pacific Palisades, California, where Leota lived after enjoying a meal at the Spruzzo Italian restaurant. The couple had been engaged since Christmas 2020. They were also spotted enjoying a meal together at a steakhouse in the Dominican just two days before his passing. J.C. also broke her silence about her partner's shocking death with a touching post to social media saying, My life these past couple of years have been nothing but truly magical. Ray and I share a deep love that I will cherish in my heart forever. We laughed daily and we were inseparable. The chemistry was wild in the best way. It was everything in the world to mean we couldn't get enough of each other. Well, I think it's safe to say that Ray will be missed dearly. At the time of his death, it's reported that the actor had a mass and net worth of about $15 million. Hey guys, it's Kara back with another exclusive poster here on Famous Entertainment and in this one we're looking at the one-time homes, the late and great Ray Leota. Don't forget to like, subscribe and hit me up on Instagram to chat and now let's get into this video. In 1995, Ray bought his long-time mansion in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood of Los Angeles for about $2.5 million, which was built just a few years prior in 1992. The residence was a three-story Mediterranean-style home that boasted over 8,500 square feet of space with six bedrooms and nine bathrooms as well as many other upskill amenities. In case you're unfamiliar, Pacific Palisades is an affluent residential neighborhood that took between the Santa Monica Mountains and the Pacific Ocean. Some highlights include Temescal Gateway Park full of hiking trails with sweeping coastline views as well as the sandy Will Rogers State Beach with a 22-mile beachfront bike path. Ray's long-time estate offered over three acres of land with sweeping canyon views from almost every angle and it was gated for a celeb-style privacy. A 20-foot grand entryway sets a stately tone for what's to come leading into expansive common spaces under beam ceilings. The great room inside the mansion offers an airy vibe with double height and wooden beam ceilings while the whole space is bathed in natural light also offering a fireplace. Other hallways in common spaces have mainly sleek, light-colored marble flooring underfoot while some rooms such as that great room boast rich-colored hardwood. Another room decked out in wood is this stunning and classic library, which also serves as a den with its cozy fireplace and nearby there's a sprawling formal dining room with red accent wall and high ceilings overhead. The family-style kitchen was spacious with a central work island that also contained the upscale stove top and range while we can also see there are a total of four ovens stacked on one side of the room. There's even a bonus casual eating area combined with the kitchen too. This space flows into a more laid-back family room with TV, large stone fireplace, full bar in one corner, and sets a French doors leading outside. Raised former master suite looks as if it's out of a five-star resort with its breezy private terrace and separate sitting area furnished in plenty of white. Not to mention the all-white ensuite bath is even more impressive with the soaking tub under soaring ceilings and sunny windows, separate glass shower and double vanities. Aside from the spacious guest rooms, there was also another level in the mansion with red walls dedicated to being a rec room or games room. The lot at Ray's house was said to be the largest in the neighborhood of the Palisades Highlands where it was located, and it even came with conceptual plans for a tennis court guest house and a second swimming pool. The terraces state boasted a palm tree-lined swimming pool and spa with covered lounge chairs surrounding it and lush gardens with paths were all dotted over the property. One garden here even had a cute and romantic bridge surrounded by plantings, while there was even a space to dine al fresco out back. Despite how happy Ray was at his fortress, he first tried to sell this place in 2014, asking over 6.5 million dollars for it, a price that would prove to be too much for the market at the time. He decided to keep the home, continue living there, and in 2019 try once again to sell. But this time, for even more, at over 7.7 million dollars. Again, no one bit. He had lowered the price significantly and put it back on the market after that. And finally, in May 2020, Lyoda sold the home for 5.1 million dollars. Despite selling that glorious mansion, Ray was still reported living in Pacific Palisades, but there's little known about his other home. Aerial views show another Mediterranean style mansion with features like a grassy lawn and sleek pool and spa, which is said to be the other Pacific Palisades house that he bought in 2003. If this is the home he continued to own, he had paid 2.7 million dollars for the estate and it boasted 5 beds and 5 baths within 6184 square feet of space. While old listing materials don't show photos of the home, say the house is custom built with views of both the ocean and the mountain vistas. Also throughout the mansion, there were limestone floors, soaring ceilings, crown moldings, and recessed lighting. Other highlights included a chef's kitchen with maple cabinets, granite center islands, and a breakfast nook, as well as a master suite with a fireplace, balcony, two walk-in closets, and luxury marble bath. Well, it appears that despite Ray Lyoda's untimely death, he was enjoying his final days making movies and spending time with his fiancé. You can also see he had some beautiful homes in Pacific Palisades, Los Angeles, an area he had lived in for more than 25 years. After seeing Ray's one-time homes, what did you guys think?
