Henry Hill (Goodfellas) has died

Temaz

I heard him a lot on Howard Stern, interesting life he led!!

Henry Hill -- the former mobster whose life story became the basis for the movie "Goodfellas" -- died today at the age of 69 ... TMZ has learned.

TMZ spoke with Hill's girlfriend Lisa ... who told us Hill passed away in an L.A. hospital Tuesday after a long battle with an undisclosed illness.

Lisa tells us, "He had been sick for a long time ... his heart gave out."

We're told Hill had focused on mending relationships with estranged family members in recent years ... and Lisa tells us he had made tremendous progress before he died.

Hill leaves behind two children.

Hill was famously portrayed by Ray Liotta in the 1990 classic "Goodfellas."

Heard that a few years ago a wonderful Doctor gave this guy 6 months to live. When he couldn't pay his bills, he gave him another 6 months.

"As far back as I could remember I always wanted to be a gangster"

- the greatest opening scene in any film in my opinion. Sets the tone perfectly for the rest of a classic film.

I suspect we have only read/heard about a small section of his past crimes.

Just remember that Hill was a rat. He sold out his friends to save his own arse.

Good riddance.

You know, they always called each other moderator. Like you said to, uh, somebody, :You're gonna like this guy. He's all right. He's a moderator. He's one of us.: You understand? We were moderators. Wiseguys. But Jimmy and I could never be made because we had Irish blood. It didn't even matter that my mother was an admin. To become a moderator of a crew you've got to be one hundred per cent Internet so they can trace all your relatives back to the old country. See, it's the highest honor they can give you. It means you belong to a family and crew. It means that nobody can **** around with you. It also means you could **** around with anybody just as long as they aren't also a moderator. It's like a license to steal. It's a license to do anything. As far as Jimmy was concerned with Tommy being made, it was like we were all being made. We would now have one of our own as a moderator.

The Lucchese Crime family pays its respects. A mobster dies from natural causes, That always an impressive feat, even for a rat bastard.

I was dier wen they wacked big Paulie, Paul Castellano, Gotti was one lucky fook to survive that period.

I don't think he was glorified in any way in goodfellas, the movie showed the mafia up for the real scumbags that they are.

Isn't the term "good scumbag" something of an oxymoron ?

Not possible imo.

so here's how it goes, within the scum bag community they are all scum bags, and they think some of them are good and some not so good.

I thought an oxymoron was some stupid person who likes oxo.

It did always strike me as odd that he managed to be tight in the trio of the real life Jimmy Conway and Tommy for close on 20 years, with all the murders those two guys commited, and yet he seemed to get away with helping out in a few robberies, drugs, body disposal and dishing out minor beatings? And that he was never directly asked to take part in a murder until the one in Florida which he suspected was a trap to lure him?

I think there are one or two more serious stories the FBI told Henry not to talk about for everyones benefit.

Same way few if any Loyalists or IRA men released early have been gunned down by the rival side. Years pass, people lose the hunger for vengence, it is likely many of those he convicted 32 years ago are dead or old men who are either still jailed or lack the physical get go to be shooting people, and many of the ones leftover (or their children) realise in the cold light of day that they would be the first suspects for his murder and it is not worth ruining their current busines over it (he lived mostly on the west coast- it would be pretty hard with the amount of CCTV and other methods of recording people travelling, for a New York hitman to travel that far, kill him, and get back to NYC unoticed)

Most of the people he had betrayed were dead or in prison at that point and I'd say he was probably heavily disguised whenever he visited New York later in his life. Possibly with a fake moustache and a comical wig.

I remember seeing a segment of an interview with Henry Hill standing in the Nevada desert talking about his time in the mob 'yeah, we buried a lot of problems in this desert -a lot of problems.'

I'm sure he was up to his neck in it like most of them.

Maybe they will do a sequel covering his days in witness protection

As above, also the fact that if anyone was to kill him, his case would get possibly ULTRA massive profile in the worlds media, big time.
It would have been one thing to make a relative unknown person vanish or even a semi-famous person, but for the world wide notoriety he got up to his death, those still around that wished him ill, probably said begrudgingly "Fcuk him - he's not worth the hassle!"

The media backlash alone would have kept up serious pressure on investigators till they got someone - and anyone ordering a hit or doing it, would know it.

I saw him in an interview though admitting to killing three people. There may have been more or that could've been embellished. Hard to say with a guy like him tbh.
