Frank gio actor

The Oscar-nominated romantic comedy " Moonstruck " has maintained its popularity for years. It's easy to see how viewers were bowled over by Oscar nominee director Norman Jewison's film: the Oscar-winning script by playwright John Patrick Shanley understands that love can be messy and confusing and infuriating, but it's also rewarding and freeing and life-confirming.

Chief among its many extraordinary qualities is its cast, led by Cher, who won an Oscar for the film, and a pre-megastardom Nicolas Cage as her unlikely lover.

Frank Gio was born on August 2, in the USA. He was an actor, known for.

Sadly, all of the supporting cast members referenced here are no longer with us — though Cher and Cage, as well as a handful of supporting players, remains active today. Following is a spoiler-heavy list of the only actors still alive from the cast of "Moonstruck. Cher had already earned an Oscar nomination and Golden Globe for Mike Nichols' "Silkwood" before netting the Best Actress trophy as the widowed Loretta Castorini, for whom love carries a particular burden.

The win was a transformative moment in a career and life built on acts of reinvention and revival. The El Centro, California native, born Cheryl Sarkissian, had already enjoyed stardom as a pop singer, both as a duo with former husband Sonny Bono and as a solo artist. The success of films like "Silkwood," "Moonstruck," and "The Witches of Eastwick" led to a brief period of box office stardom for Cher.

Following the death of Bono in , she scored a massive hit with "Believe," which became the best-selling single in the United States and United Kingdom that year, and netted her a Grammy. Cher remains active and popular in her seventh decade through residencies in Las Vegas, new recordings, and occasional film appearances in "Burlesque" and "Mamma Mia!

Here We Go Again. Its popularity earned Cher a spot in the New York Times Magazine's Best Actors of list —- the first time an actor who was not in current film joined its ranks. Nicolas Cage , who played the passionate Ronnie Cammereri in "Moonstruck," was initially not interested in appearing in Norman Jewison's film. In the years since "Moonstruck," Cage has undergone almost as many career transformations and revivals as Cher.

Between these efforts, he's also given memorable voice-over roles in animated features "The Croods" and "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse" , hosted a television series "The History of Swear Words" , and earned headlines for financial troubles and offbeat behavior.
