Henry Hill was an American mobster who became famous for his involvement with the Lucchese crime family in New York City. Born on June 11, 1943, he grew up in Brooklyn and became involved in organized crime at a young age. Hill's life in the mob included various illegal activities, such as drug trafficking and robbery. In the 1970s, Hill became an informant for the FBI, providing crucial information that led to the arrest of several mobsters. His story was later popularized in the film Goodfellas, directed by Martin Scorsese, which depicted his life in the mafia and his eventual decision to turn against it.
