What The World Never Knew About Bonnie And Clyde

Bonnie and Clyde are perhaps the most romanticized outlaws of all time. At a time when gangsters were celebrities, they stood out. They caught the attention of the media and the public during the Great Depression, but eventually, the tide turned. Here's the truth about Bonnie and Clyde.

While Bonnie and Clyde may have ended up finding fame by killing people and robbing banks, they probably could have just taken a more legal route to get there. Both were talented in far more traditional ways.

According to historical sources, Clyde Barrow was a natural musician. His brother-in-law had taught him to play the saxophone, but he also played guitar. Clyde enjoyed sharing his music with the impoverished people of the south, and he would often play his guitar around campfires in the west Dallas campgrounds.

Bonnie Parker was the one who actively wanted to be famous, though. Sources who worked on two separate Bonnie and Clyde movies claim she wanted to be a celebrity by any means -- a Broadway star, a singer, a Hollywood actress, or even a poet. She did have talent. Growing up, Bonnie starred in school plays and pageants. Texas Monthly reports that when a boy once upstaged her, she punched him, then cartwheeled across the stage after the audience broke out into applause.

Once she became famous for her life of crime, she referred to their fans as, quote, "her public" and signed autographs.
