Bonnie Elizabeth Parker and Clyde Chestnut Barrow were American criminals who became very famous during the Great Depression for their bank robberies, murderings, and other crimes. The pair became known as Bonnie and Clyde and were popularized in folktales, songs, and movies.
Bonnie and Clyde met in Texas in 1930 and began their criminal careers together. At first, they only committed small-time thefts and burglaries, but they eventually graduated to more serious crimes, such as bank robberies.
Their crimes gained great national attention and they became media sensations. Many people were fascinated by their youth, good looks, and reckless abandon, and they were often depicted as modern-day Robin Hoods who stole from the rich to give to the poor.
However, Bonnie and Clyde’s criminal activities were not without violence and murders. They were involved in several shootouts with law enforcement and were suspected of killing several people, including police officers.
In May 1934, Bonnie and Clyde were ambushed by a group of law enforcement officers in Louisiana. Both were killed in the gunfire, ending their two-year crime spree.
Their deaths captured the attention of the nation and their story became the subject of numerous books, movies, and songs. Today, Bonnie and Clyde are remembered as symbols of the outlaw spirit and the rebelliousness of the 1930s.
