On Saturday, she wrote that his son, Kisasi, 10, also injured, died after being on life support. His mother, Akili Ramsess, executive director of the National Press Photographers Association, announced his death and that of his daughters Sundari, 13, and Fujibo, 8 weeks, in an Instagram post on Thursday. Ramsess died shortly before midnight after the vehicle in which he and his kids were traveling hit a tractor trailer that had broken down in the left lane of an exit off Interstate 20, Atlanta station WSB-TV reported. Like Goodfellas, the screenplay was based on events chronicled in a non-fiction book written by author Nicolas Pileggi and adapted by both Pileggi and Scorsese. Taraja Ramsess, a stunt performer and set dresser with credits including Fast & Furious, Avengers and Black Panther movies, died on Halloween in a car crash in Atlanta that also claimed the lives of three of his children. Often written off as a cash-in on the success of Goodfellas, Martin Scorsese’s 1995 true crime movie, Casino, is one of his most accomplished and overlooked works.
