GINA MASTROGIACOMO – MYOCARDITIS

Gina Mastrogiacomo had her entire life ahead of her. She was discovered by none other than the multi-awarded and critically-acclaimed director Martin Scorsese. Her first debut was the portrayal of Ginny in Alien Space Avenger, a comedic science fiction movie in 1989. The latter cast her in various films, including Goodfellas, because of her beauty and talent. In 2001, however, Mastrogiacomo died of a bacterial heart infection known as myocarditis.

As an actress, she had so much potential in her that even Scorsese took notice, and she could have gotten more popular. It is sad to know she was only 39 years old when she died. Her short time in the show business industry brings inspiration to many young aspirants to live healthily and enjoy every moment. No need to worry, because it is certain that her hospital bills and other expenses were covered by her medical insurance. She sure has different investments left for her family to partake, despite having to cover tremendous bills.
