One half of the infamous Bonnie and Clyde duo, Bonnie Parker was a member of the Barrow Gang that shot its way through numerous thefts before its demise in 1934. According to some historians, there is actually no proof that Bonnie ever shot a person during the Bonnie and Clyde crime spree, but rather it was her good looks that drove the unsavory duo into national notoriety. Nevertheless, Bonnie met her end when a posse of Texas and Louisiana police officers ambushed their automobile and shot them. When her former husband learned of her death while in prison he said, “I’m glad [she] went out like [she] did. It’s much better than being caught.”
