On today’s episode of “Andy Cohen Live,” Lorraine Bracco remembered her “Goodfellas” co-star Ray Liotta, revealing he was “the greatest dancing partner” and “full of sex.” Listen to the full interview on SiriusXM’s Radio Andy (Ch. 102) and the SiriusXM app.

Lorraine Bracco Says Ray Liotta “Was Full of Sex”

Andy Cohen: Did you remain pals throughout the rest of Ray Liotta’s life, who we sadly lost last year?

Lorraine Bracco: Yes.

Andy Cohen: You did. He was on my show once and absolutely was hysterically funny.

Lorraine Bracco: Didn’t you ask him who was the most underrated actor of our generation or something?

Andy Cohen: I asked him – we played “Plead the Fifth.” He never played “Plead the Fifth.” I say to him, “Who’s the most overrated actor?” He said, “Clint Eastwood.” And then he says – I said, “Who was the worst kisser in your career?” And he goes, “Sigourney [Weaver].”

Lorraine Bracco: I have to honestly say Ray was the greatest dancing partner. And I’ve had a lot of good ones, OK? I really have. But Ray would literally maneuver me and look at me and be with me. And he made me so much better. He really did. He was full of sex, Ray. You gotta tell the truth here. He had those dreamy eyes. He was a sexy guy.

Andy Cohen: You two ever consummate?

Lorraine Bracco: No, sadly. But I think that wanting and longing was very…

Andy Cohen: It added to your, yeah. I respect that.

Lorraine Bracco on Interviewing Destiny’s Child

The award-winning actress also talked to Andy about her 2001 interview with Destiny’s Child in which Lorraine, who famously played psychiatrist Dr. Jennifer Melfi on “The Sopranos,” had a “therapy session” with Beyoncé, Kelly Rowland, and Michelle Williams.

Lorraine Bracco: It was the beginning of their career, but you knew this was to going to explode, and they did. And they were honest and adorable and smart. They were smart and they were willing to discuss how no one was interested in giving them clothes or having to sit together on the airplane. It was really an amazing conversation because they were not jaded by anything or anybody.
