The Real Henry Hill Revealed | Toronto News

The prosecutor who played himself in Goodfellas is revealing all in his upcoming memoir—Henry Hill wasn’t a genius, just a lucky screw-up who got away with it thanks to mob connections. MacDonald knew Hill and Jimmy Burke, the Lufthansa Heist mastermind, intimately—and says they were tight until Burke started eliminating loose ends after the 1978 heist. When Hill flipped for life or the mob, MacDonald’s team uncovered the Boston College point-shaving scandal. Hill was charming but chaotic: married twice at once, constantly blowing his witness protection cover, and addicted to drugs. MacDonald paints Burke as volatile and violent, while also reflecting on how the mob’s power has shifted from labor to drugs and Wall Street—and how changing neighborhoods have shrunk their old turf.
