Paul Sorvino and wife Dee Dee Benkie had a "wonderful" marriage and were "happy every day" before the "Goodfellas" actor died on Monday at the age of 83, Benkie told Fox News Digital.
"We were so happy every day, every single day of our lives together." "If not for Fox, we would not be married." "He is a Patriot. He's all about America. He's very patriotic." Tracy Wright is an entertainment writer for Fox News Digital. Send story tips to tracy.wright@fox.com.
Sorvino — known just as much for mob roles with the late James Caan in "The Gambler," working with Alan Arkin in "The Rocketeer" and Warren Beatty in "Dick Tracy" as he was for playing a crime-fighting cop in "Law & Order" — died at the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Florida after suffering health issues, according to his representative.
Dee Dee remembered how Fox News played a pivotal part in their relationship as they first met in the green room while waiting for separate appearances on the network, and even announced their surprise elopement while on Neil Cavuto's show in 2015.
