Goodfellas showed the death of only one of its main characters, but how did Henry, Paulie, and Jimmy die (and what really happened to Tommy)?
Martin Scorsese’s Goodfellas chronicled the rise and fall of mob associate Henry Hill , who became close to some of the biggest names in the mob, as were Jimmy “The Gent” Conway , Tommy DeVito , and Paul Cicero , but how do their deaths compare to real life? Based on the book Wiseguy by Nicholas Pileggi, Goodfellas tells the true story of Henry Hill and his involvement with the Lucchese crime family, as well as his decision to become an FBI informant years later.
As part of Vario’s crime family, Hill took part in the Air France robbery, and with that money, he purchased a restaurant called The Suite, where Billy Batts was pistol-whipped by Tommy DeSimone , and he had a role in the planning of the Lufthansa heist, though he didn’t actively participate in the heist. After a couple more arrests, Hill agreed to become an informant and entered the U.S. Marshals’ Witness Protection Program with his wife, Karen, and their two children.
Burke’s most notable crime was the Lufthansa heist, as he’s considered the mastermind of it, though it wouldn’t have been possible without Hill, who was told by Martin Krugman that Lufthansa flew in currency to its cargo terminal at John F. Kennedy International Airport. Burke put together the crew for the heist and also ordered the murders of many of them after the heist, beginning with Parnell “Stacks” Edwards, as he grew paranoid about the authorities going after him.
