James Joseph Ferrara, commonly known as Jimmie Ferrara, was born to Salvadore 'Sam' Ferrara (1886-1976) and Laura (Settipani) Ferrara (1891-1982), and had siblings Rosalia, Thomas, and Anthony. Jimmie enlisted in the United States Coast Guard on November 9th 1942 and was discharged on April 4th, 1944. He is listed as being in a military hospital in 1944 due to an illness that he had prior to service. Jimmie Ferrara was a highly acclaimed actor known for his remarkable performances in the films "Tombstone: The Town Too Tough to Die" and its 1942 version. He had the privilege of working alongside the renowned actor Humphrey Bogart in various productions, including the aforementioned "Tombstone: The Town Too Tough To Die," as well as "Gunsmoke" and "Dark Passages." In addition to his successful career, Jimmy formed close friendships with esteemed individuals such as Roy Rogers, Rita Hayworth, Jane Russell, and Lou Costello. According to an article published on June 1st, 2006, in a Nevada newspaper, James Ferrara, who was 65 years old, was discovered shot in his residence in September 1985. Despite the passage of over 20 years, no leads or arrests were made in connection with Jimmie's murder, and the case went unresolved. However, a breakthrough occurred in 2006 when a tip from a relative of the shooter led to the arrest of Jimmie's former wife, Delma Troy, along with Donald White from Colorado and Rick Kosterow from Washington state. Rick had been involved in a romantic relationship with Delma, while Donald was a friend of Rick's. All three individuals were convicted in 2006. Both Delma and Rick passed away while serving their prison sentences, but Donald was released in 2018. "Oxygen: True Crime" did a complete review of the case and a 2021 follow up on all three.
