Bonnie and Clyde:
Respectively,
born October 1, 1910, Rowena, Texas, U.S.
died May 23, 1934, Gibsland, Louisiana
born March 24, 1909, Telico, Texas, U.S.

robbery team that became notorious in the United States through their flamboyant encounters with police and the sensationalization of their exploits by the country's newspapers.
Barrow had been a criminal long before he met Parker in January 1930. After 20 months in prison in 1930–32, he teamed up with Parker, and the two began a crime spree that lasted 21 months. Often working with confederates—including Barrow's brother Buck and Buck's wife, Blanche, as well as Ray Hamilton and W.D. Jones—Bonnie and Clyde, as they were popularly known, robbed gas stations, restaurants, and small-town banks—their take never exceeded $1,500—chiefly in Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, and Missouri.

Well, Bonnie Parker was the most prominent, but . .
"The story is of two Texas young adults who, bored with their lives and the prospects of going nowhere in the world, decide to live out their dreams of stardom by going on a crime spree. They fancy themselves a sort of "Romeo and Juliet" couple, and think of their robberies as harmless fun. They start out small by knocking over grocery stores and gas stations, but soon graduate to banks when they need more money to accommodate their lifestyle. Soon they have a simple minded gas clerk named C.W. and Clyde's brother and wife in the gang, and the duo goes down into history."
