Have you all heard about them?I became curious because I was listening a song on you tube minutes before I started this discussion it was Beyonce and her hubby Jay-z it's an old song though titled bonnie and clyde.So i searched for that names I have read that the real name for Bonnie is Bonnie Elizabeth Parker and for clyde it's Clyde Chestnut Barrow a.k.a Clyde champion Barrow. According to the blog that I have read they were american criminals who travel the Central United States with their gang during the great depression who is robbing some people and then killing them when confronted.There are times that they will include Clyde's older brother Buck Barrow his wife Blanche, Raymond Hamilton, W. D. Jones, Joe Palmer, Ralph Fults, and Henry Methvin. Their exploits captured the attention of the American public during the "Public Enemy Era," between 1931 and 1935. Though known today for their dozen-or-so bank robberies, the two preferred to rob small stores or rural gas stations. The gang is believed to have killed at least nine police officers and several civilians. The couple were eventually ambushed and killed by law officers near the town of Sailes, in Bienville Parish, Louisiana. Their reputation was revived and cemented in American pop folklore by Arthur Penn's 1967 film Bonnie and Clyde, in which they were played by Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty.

It is a fascinating devilish couple. To be complete, here a link to a famous French song with English subtitles, "Bonnie and Clyde", sang by Charles Gainsbourg and Brigitte Bardot.
America's most romanticized depression era criminals made even more glamorous by Serge Gainsbourg and Brigitte Bardot. 2:04 subtitle should read "Each time a...
