Before her marriage to Ray though, Grace had already married former Major League Baseball player, Mark Grace and got divorced 4 years before her next marriage.

Although the marriage seemed to have much promise, it did not get to survive more than four years before it ended in a divorce. And, it may interest you to know that it was at Mark Grace’s game that Michelle and Ray met and hit the ground rolling.

That was the first time he is kissing a guy on set as he played the role of a bisexual police officer. But then, that was also the first time that he has ever kissed a man in his life as he is neither gay nor bisexual.

In fact, after playing the role, the actor said he found it rather odd. This is even though he said he had no prejudice against homosexuals.

Did Ray Liotta Really Undergo Any Cosmetic Procedure?

Sometime before 2016, the thespian’s fans began to notice that his face was looking radically different than before. So, the speculation went rife that he had done Botox while other people said it was a facelift.

Although he completely denied ever going under the knife, the fact is that his appearance has clearly been ruined by whatever transpired as his face has become strikingly taut – and, for many people, weird – while his brows have undeserving age written all over them.

The question remains, “did Ray Liotta undergo plastic surgery?” Most of his fans insist he did. And many have expressed their disappointment in him for attempting that.

But others seem to understand that the fear of aging in a business that depends so much on one’s personal appearance was to blame.

Yet others blamed it on pressure from some fans who keep inspecting his face and making complementing comments about any sign of age noticed.
