Henry Hill dies 'pretty peacefully, for a goodfella'
(http://images.wikia.com/mafia/images/d/d5/Hill_henry.jpg)
Henry Hill, whose life as a high-rolling New York gangster turned FBI informant was the basis for Martin Scorsese’s 1990 film, Goodfellas, died yesterday of complications following a recent heart attack. He was 69. He “went out pretty peacefully, for a goodfella,” his partner and manager Lisa Caserta told CBS News.
Hill was arrested in 1980 for trafficking narcotics and fearing that his associates in the Lucchese crime family wanted him dead, he agreed to cooperate with federal authorities. His testimony led to 50 convictions, and he began a new life in the Witness Protection Program.
In 1986, author Nicholas Pileggi documented Hill’s life in the book, Wise Guy, which became the basis for Scorsese’s film, starring Ray Liotta as Hill, Joe Pesci, and Robert DeNiro. Hill was later expelled from the Witness Protection Program after additional drug-related arrests, and he suffered several setbacks in his struggle with drug and alcohol abuse

Hey Tommy! All dressed up and goin' to town!
-
Maybe it was a glamorous life for a few years, but I'm sure the majority of his existence was that of a sad dope fiend
-
he was prolly a good guy to have a few beers with, ya know he had a bunch of wild mob stories to tell about the 60,s and 70,s

The last footage I seen of him he was just the old guy hanging out in some small town run down bar, laughing it up and drinking beer. Said if he would die a drunk, he would die a happy man. Seemed like an okay guy to me.

Goodfella's was a great movie but it doesn't change the fact that Henry Hill was still a fucking snitch and stool pigeon who ratted out his friends and family just to save his own ass.

LOL..."Friends"??
Henry sat there in court and listened to secretly taped testimony of Jimmy Conway discussing plans to murder him before trial. I would have imagined Paulie would have killed him as well.

Including this part
Does anybody remember him on howard stern? When he said a guy kidnapped him and forced him to stick stuff up his ass and what not. He put out a video of it he said and howard was watching it and getting sick. He used to get fucked up and say give me a caramel machiada all the time on there. But he did an ass video in the woods or something gross.

In real life Tommy was really a big man who could handle himself in a fist fight and who flew off the handle at a moments notice.
I read somewhere that he calmly pulled out a pistol and shot some random dude walking down the street in the head like it was nothing.

the movie (which is fucking awesome btw) portrayed them as lovable rogues when in reality they were utter scum.

i dont like people who rat but in his case he wouldve been killed by his so called buddies, he had a choice of getting killed by them or staying alive in the witness protection program. thats basiclly the choice he had, die or live
-
Great movie...
-
Anyone in his situation would have ratted too , it's easy to talk bravado when you're not in FBI custody but the old adage applies ' No honor among thieves '

very true, it aint like hill got popped with an ounce of blow and to avoid afew years in jail ratted out the whole crew, his life was on the line and anyone woulda took his root if push came to shove.

good post from a while back on here
several years back, about a decade give or take a group of my associates somehow managed to get the real henry hill to do an after dinner speaking session at everton fc's goodison park. I was charged with looking after the now sober henry hill.
he was as sober as amy winehouse.
and was snorting enough beak to kill an elephant.
over the course of 3 days he went missing at every opportunity with typical addict excuses. eventually we got him to the venue after keeping him away from all gear and booze for a full 6 hours. he went to powder his nose and spent about 5 minutes in the gents. he then came back to the venue to be introduced. came to the mic got called a grass, told the audience to go fuck themselves then went over to his seat eyes spinning leaving us to placate tables of fellas who had paid through the nose for the privelege.
he later got his head back but it was an unmitigated disaster
as for the batts scene- genius to say the least. the whole film is cracking- the dialogue ace, the violence top. however in reality hills role was overblown. but still my fave fillum of all time

He went to the big shine box in the sky

Jimmy was discussing killing Henry with Paulie. Paulie sat there silently which gave permission to Jimmy to whack Henry. The argument was that Henry was a cocaine junkie who would give them all up (which he ended up doing, lol)

Hazbin you are a great poster and I love your stories but if you were put in the same situation you would have done the same exact thing as Henry Hill(being murdered or staying alive), you sound like a delusional little tough guy keyboard warrior jerk off on this one.

i wouldn't be in that position. i wouldn't be hooked on drugs and making stupid decisions. actually i am not a law breaker at all, other than usual traffic violations.

He's sleeping with the fishes now :'( :'( :'(

^I use that all the time in real life. LOL :D

At this point, the Italian American mob is more like the jersey shore characters. Bumbling idiots. Same way Sammy the Bull stood out in AZ, or Joe Pistone gives interviews. The glory days are over. He did however have a part in one of the largest heists in US history. A&E did a movie I. It with Donald Sutherland that was great. Hey portrayed Henry as a bisexual.

Henry Hill was dealing concainum and with those RICO laws passed, anyone who sneezed wrong would get a quick 30 years which was why the mafia prohibited anyone from dealing....so what if he was about to get wacked....you play the game and you take your chances. He had his entire live to leave

My buddys father who is dead now, used to play poker with with Jimmy and Tommy at his house in Long Island!

i read stories that tommy would throw darts at people at the table when playing cards, when he was losing that is. those dude where nut jobs and would cap someone in a heartbeat

A rat and coward is dead. Good.

Is a coherent sentence out of the question?
-
How is it he survived this long? If the classic mob flicks are at all accurate, seems he woulda been offed quite some time ago, especially considering how public he was with the Stern show and whatnot.
What gives?

You really are a loser in every way. BTW, going through your empty days in a drunken fog isn't considered "real life", shitbum.

Ray Liotta is my distant cousin lol. My mother's maiden name is Liotta and they met back about 20 years ago at a mall I believe and discussed their relation..

You must be a true total homo,just can`t get me off your infantile mind can you.
To think so often about another guy just reeks gaylord!!
HTH you big queer you!!
On my ignore list for sure.....tired of being stalked by a faggy paki nobody.

I agree...but you gotta realize there are/where people who are true to the above thought. Roy DeMeo drove to his own death leaving behind all his rings, wallet, etc.. When Donnie Brasco went down..Sonny Black got the call to come down..he went the same way..left everything at home and drove to his death.
I obviously would have no idea what I would do because I don't have to worry about that lol, but I'm just trying to say there are a few people out there who were real warriors...actually they didn't even have keyboards :)

everyone was in jail or dead who care about payback.

True. They are always going to be around and cause problems. But nothing to the extent of the past. Its kind of hard to even if you are smart..nobody wants the boss chair..too many laws that can't be beat in courts anymore with fancy lawyers like Bruce Cutler and Kaplin.
Most people who follow the history of the mafia realized once Joe Massino boss of the Bonanno family and at the time the most powerful boss since he was still from the original 5 family bosses of the 80's-90's hooked up the federal wire and had his underboss and most trusted loyal capos tell him how they are going to revenge him and the family honor...and the whole time hes like 'you guys getting this? loud and clear? lol'. I think that was the rock bottom moment.

I think they were planning to kill him

I don't mean to be rude but by the time he was out of jail Anthony Casso and Vic Amuso took over the family that Pauly in the movie was a very small part of....and began killing their own captains and soldiers to solidify their rank as boss/underboss.
I know what you mean and it should be the way it works....again I don't mean to be rude...its just something I have had to learn about and have studied for years ...its safe to say the changing trends are pathetic.

Paul Vario was a very small part of the Luccheses? He was a capo, was he not? Since when capos are a very small part of families?

You are correct, but there are far different levels of respect/power from faction to faction. Probably should have said 'not in charge at the time Hill was released' even if he was alive. He actually took his own power away from himself and was phasing himself out.
In the past he was very powerful..60-s to early 80's...his crew still uses his name to this day..that faction is the Vario Crew.
If anyone is interested in OC especially the NY 5 Families...I would always love to bullshit via pm/email etc... its always been something I grew up studying even before I needed the info.
