Goodbye, goodfella. Henry Hill dead at 69.

[Probe Droid]

Former mobster Henry Hill, whose memoir, Wiseguy, was the basis of the film, Goodfellas, has gone to the big jailhouse in the sky at only 69. No loss.

I assmume most people have seen Goodfellas (if not, what's wrong with you?) but if you've never read Wiseguy, it's a blast.

The Luftansa heist is still one of the biggest cash grabs in history.

I saw him on the show Locked Up Abroad. [which is weird because he's a US citizen and was locked up in the US]

He was a personable fellow anyway. He said when he was in rehab, on Oscar night Scorsese came by in a limo to shake his hand.

RIP

I remember when he was on Howard Stern, very interesting guy and life.
