St Louis Strip Clubs: "Goodfellas" Henry Hill Selling Paintings At Strip Club
WASHINGTON PARK, IL (KTVI-FOX2now.com) – A picture he’s posed for many times before. Former mobster Henry Hill was arrested this week in the Metro East. The one time wise guy and inspiration for the movie “Goodfellas” is definitely older, but is he any wiser? “I was drunk as a skunk.” Henry Hill, 66, is still battling demons like alcohol abuse that led to his arrest here this week. He’s in town selling paintings and making personal appearances at a strip club. He points to a painting, “That’s a rat. I’m a rat. That’s me. It’s a self-portait.”
Hill is laughing about something he once feared would get him killed – going from mobster, to mob-informant, “There was a time in my life I would have put a gun in my mouth before I ever thought I would ever inform on anybody.”
