Jake LaMotta Dies; Boxer, Raging Bull Inspiration Was 95
Jake LaMotta, the boxer who provided the inspiration for the classic Martin Scorsese film Raging Bull, has passed away at the age of 95.
Sources close to LaMotta say that he died peacefully at his home in Arizona, surrounded by loved ones.
Inside the ring, the 1949-51 middleweight champion was known for his tenacity and his ability to endure punishment that would send weaker fighters to the mat.
LaMotta’s six bouts with Sugar Ray Robinson are the stuff of boxing legend, and though LaMotta was victorious in just one of the contests, Robinson frequently stated that he was in awe of his opponent’s ability.
“I never fought a fighter as strong as he is,” Robinson said in one post-fight interview.
Sadly, these days, LaMotta is as well known for his personal struggles as for the successes he enjoyed inside the ring.
Marred by a violent temper, mutliple stints in prison, and allegations of fight fixing, LaMotta’s life was never easy, but his many challenges attracted the attention of one of Hollywood’s most legendary filmmakers.
Martin Scorsese’s 1980 masterpiece Raging Bull is a warts-and-all portrayal of LaMotta that’s widely regarded as one of the most important cinematic works of the past fifty years.
“When I saw the film, I was upset,” LaMotta said after watching the movie for the fist time.
“I kind of look bad in it. Then I realized it was true. That’s the way it was. I was a no-good bastard. I realize it now. It’s not the way I am now, but the way I was then.”
Despite his relative obscurity as a fighter, one would be hard-pressed to name another athlete who so effectively captured the imagination of the enterntainment world.
In addition to Raging Bull, LaMotta was the subject of a documentary, a stage production about his relationship with his seventh wife, and a controversial pseudo-sequel to the Scorsese film entitled The Bronx Bull.
LaMotta even got dabbled in acting, starring in a one-man show based on his car and making cameos in the classic film The Hustler and the popular TV series Car 54 Where Are You?
LaMotta was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 1990.
In 2002, The Ring magazine ranked him as one of the 80 best fighters of the last 80 years.
“He was a great man, sensitive and had eyes that danced right up to the end. I love him, God rest his soul,” his wife said in an interview today.
Paraphrasing an oft-quoted line from Raging Bull, she added, “And he never went down!”

Theresa Saldana Dies: Raging Bull, The Commish Actress Was 61
Theresa Saldana, the actress best known for her work on the acclaimed televisions series The Commish and the iconic Martin Scorsese film Raging Bull, has passed away at the age of 61.
Saldana had been hospitalized due to unknown illness since last week.
She reportedly passed away surrounded by family and friends this morning.
Though she racked up dozens of film and television credits, Saldana’s most lasting contribution might be her work as a victim’s advocate following a highly-publicized attack that nearly took her life at the height of her fame.
In 1982, Saldana was attacked and stabbed by a fan named Arthur Richard Jackson, who became obsessed after seeing Saldana’s performances in Raging Bull and Defiance.
Saldana was stabbed ten times.
The attack was aggressive that Jackson’s blade was bent.
Saldana’s life was saved by a delivery man who heard her screams from a nearby apartment and intervened.
Saldana played herself in a TV movie based on the incident, and she went on to found the organization Victims for Victims.
Along with other survivors, she successfully lobbied to push through two pieces of legislation protecting potential stalking victims.
Law makers have been quoted as saying that the 1990 anti-stalking law and the 1994 Driver’s Privacy protection Act may have never found the support they needed were it not for Saldana’s involvement.
Saldana appeared on an astonishing 37 television shows over the course of her career, including such long-running favorites as Law & Order and MacGyver.
She retired from acting in 2004, but remained an active victims’ advocate until her death.
