Goodfellas' Tommy DeVito was often asked when he would get married, but the personal life of the real Tommy DeSimone was very different.
Martin Scorsese’s Goodfellas is based on a true story and on real-life gangsters, but it made some big changes to the stories of these characters, among them Tommy DeVito , whose real name was Tommy DeSimone. In Goodfellas, Tommy is constantly asked when he will get married, but the story of the real Tommy DeVito was very different.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY During his time in the mob, Henry worked closely with some of the biggest names in the mob back then, but he was especially close to two of them: Jimmy “The Gent” Conway and Tommy DeVito. Henry and Tommy worked together when they were teenagers and continued to do so when they grew up, and they were so close that it was thanks to Tommy that Henry met his wife, Karen .
Spione was also a Lucchese associate, and his fate ended up being similar to that of his brother-in-law. According to investigators and various reports, Spione was supposed to help John Gotti lure DeSimone to his death but refused to do it, which infuriated Gotti and had him killed. Spione’s body was reportedly found in 2004 in a “Mafia graveyard”, where the bodies of other gangsters were also found and where Tommy’s body was also theorized to be buried, but his remains still haven’t been found.
What Really Happened To Tommy DeSimone? On January 14, 1979, Angela DeSimone reported Tommy missing, and since then, there have been many theories on what really happened to him. Goodfellas showed that Tommy was told he was going to be made, but in reality, he was taken to an unknown location by members of Paulie’s crew, including his brother Tuddy, who shot Tommy.
Other theories say that Thomas Agro claimed to have murdered DeSimone, that Gotti was the one who pulled the trigger in the presence of Agro, and that either Gotti, Agro, or both tortured DeSimone as they wanted him to suffer before he died.
