Bonnie Parker (October 1, 1910 – May 23, 1934) and Clyde Barrow (March 24, 1909 – May 23, 1934) were notorious outlaws, robbers and criminals who travelled the Central United States during the Great Depression. Their exploits were known nationwide. They captured the attention of the American press and its readership during what is sometimes referred to as the “public enemy era” between 1931 and 1935. Although this couple and their gang were notorious for their bank robberies, Clyde Barrow preferred to rob small stores or gas stations.

Though the public at the time believed Bonnie to be a full partner in the gang, the role of Bonnie Parker in the Barrow Gang crimes has long been a source of controversy. Gang members W.D. Jones and Ralph Fults testified that they never saw Bonnie fire a gun, and described her role as logistical. Jones’ sworn statement was that “Bonnie never packed a gun, out of the five major gun battles I was with them she never fired a gun.” Writing with Phillip Steele in The Family Story of Bonnie and Clyde, Marie Barrow, Clyde’s youngest sister, made the same claim: “Bonnie never fired a shot. She just followed my brother no matter where he went.” In his interview with Playboy magazine, W.D. Jones said of Bonnie: “As far as I know, Bonnie never packed a gun. Maybe she’d help carry what we had in the car into a tourist-court room. But during the five big gun battles I was with them, she never fired a gun. But I’ll say she was a hell of a loader.”

In his article “Bonnie and Clyde: Romeo and Juliet in a Getaway Car,” the noted writer Joseph Geringer explained part of their appeal to the public then, and their enduring legend now, by saying “Americans thrilled to their ‘Robin Hood’ adventures. The presence of a female, Bonnie, escalated the sincerity of their intentions to make them something unique and individual

The movie with Faye Dunnaway and Warren Beatty, 1968.

The Ballad a record put out at the same time the movie was made, how they robbed banks back during the great depression days in the 30’s, gunned down in Texas.

Made hero’s out of, but some of the true story, “Bonnie was known to a cigar smoking “*****” and went to bed with both.”

The cop in the film when he spits in her face, take a picture of her kissing, was really a good cop, that who had said those things about her.

The partner’s in crime, one was Clyde’s brother, the hysterical wife, went blind , after the cop got her true story, slammed the door in her face, they put her away for good, they shot her daddy, Clydes brother.

Clyde was nothing more that a “west Texan punk and one of the worst kind punks were the west Texan punks.”

This was said by the cop in the movie, who had allegedly spat in her face when taking a picture to make fun of him.

Also had secret footages of Bonnie and Clyde when on the run, on a road side eating lunch, did not identify who, and shot a few passer bys maybe the feds after them, and running off laughing at it.

Bonnie enjoyed the fast life, and when Clyde came along was an instant attraction. Two of akind.
