Bonnie and Clyde (History's Worst)

When photos of Bonnie and Clyde posing with guns and playing around were published, they became media darlings. However, their fame was short-lived, and their lives ended in a bloody police ambush. During their 1930s crime spree, the two young Texans and the rest of their gang lived lives filled with narrow escapes, bungled robberies, injuries, and murders. They weren't the only gangsters operating at the time, but Bonnie and Clyde really captured the public's imagination. And a lot of that was due to cute, blond Bonnie herself - and there was no one else like her.

Their story continues to fascinate writers, musicians, visual artists, and filmmakers. But is that fascination justified? Or are we confusing the movie images with reality and ignoring the ugly truth of their story?
