Goodfellas: The Dark Rise of the REAL Jimmy "The Gent" ๐บ๐ The SECRET Behind Goodfellasโฆ
Goodfellas, one of the most iconic mafia/gangster films EVER made. One of the stand out characters from the iconic film, โGoodfellasโ, was suave Jimmy the gent Conway. We see him in the flashy suits, throwing money around and getting respect from everyone around him.
But what was he like in real life? Well, in many ways he was actually toned down for the film. His real life story was actually crazier than what we see on screen. Something quite rare. But how did it all begin? How did this Irishman end up working so closely with Cosa Nostra? Although not a made-man, he still enjoyed many of its benefits?
Ending up as one of the respected and feared men in the criminal underworld?
And how did it all actually end for โthe gentโ? To really understand this โcomplicatedโ character, we have to look at who he was before the glitz and glamour.
So join us as we discover the REAL story behind the infamous โJimmy the gentโ Burke.
