My grandmother (born in 1911 and from West Dallas) was part of the Bonnie and Clyde friend group back in the day. She knew both of them well. I can tell you that my Granny hated the 1968 movie with a passion and would tell me how very cute and pretty Bonnie was, "much prettier than that Fay Dunaway". She would have loved your videos because you never make B&C look like lunatics running amok. Thank you
I just say what happened, clearly the true story is needed, based on some comments I’m seeing. Sadly those people watch my ambush video but none of the others. Thanks for watching. Man it would have been fascinating to talk to your granny!
The picture at 14:33 min really shows how much she loved him. One thing you can say for her, is she lived her life as she wanted to. Which is something most woman in her day didn't get to do.
She was just a poor girl who's head got turned the first meeting with Clyde,who in turn to impress Bonnie he became more macho than he normally would be so they become doomed lovers and the rest is history..this was brilliant, thanks 👍 for sharing..u.k fan.
Thank You. My wife is related to Bonnie Parker and after her mom Christina Parker passed away we have taken a bit more interest in the family history. Your videos have been great . We have been to some of these locations and heard stories but hearing educated stories from someone who seems to have a passion for it is wonderful.
Fascinating MM. A Woman of potential who had little recourse in her environment as you say. She went through more in 23 years than most senior citizens ever see. Love the Bonnie and Clyde coverage and I´ve never seen a lot of those photos.
They pretty much came from the Texas Hideout website. It’s a great resource dedicated solely to B&C and has been around for 20 years. It’s definitely worth checking out if you’ve never explored it.
Little Recourse. Let's kill people ... Wrong !!!!!!! Heartless... She deserved to b blown away..... If you take a life,,,, you need to donate your own..
@@jat6547 she never killed anybody. Boots Hinton (Ted Hinton’s son) describes her as a groupie tagging along because she was so enamored with Clyde. I think that’s a great way to describe her involvement.
Wether she pulled the trigger or not,,,, she was MOST DEFINITELY IN ON IT !!!! They were not the only one going thru hard times,,,,,, the masses of people, did not resort to that ..... They're not heroic !!!!!! That's what's WRONG with society,,,,,,, Lookin up to criminals .....
@jat6547 Clyde was brutally raped in prison by an older, hardened criminal inmate. Clyde was a teenager at the time. "Hard times," indeed. Not excusing his criminal behavior, just offering what I believe to be essential context.
When she came into the world no one could visualize that she would turn to a life of crime. She certainly knew how to dress and how to use make-up she certainly cared about her appearance. She certainly was intelligent and knew how to write especially poetry. Whenever they met people that lived out in the Country or rural areas she did the talking. That's why the authorities couldn't find them because they'd befriend people they met along the way. They'd end up staying for a time with them. If these people were poor they'd give them food and money. According to the book Go Down Together by Jeff Guinn Clyde Barrow gave guns to a certain family that they stayed with. He showed that family head how to use those firearms in the event their lives were threatened. Many people that they met viewed them as good Samaritans. The authorities had a different view of them.
I've seen many videos about Bonnie & Clyde. I like your videos because they are refreshing look about the couple that no one else is doing. So keep them coming.
My grandmother saw them when they were held up in a small hotel in Roanoke Texas. The whole town found out and they left. As they were driving out they were waving at everyone. They waved at my grandmother.
You made the defining statement describing Bonnie. In today's world she would have certainly made other choices, simply because she would have had other options.
As her sister Billie Jean said in an interview that was recorded onto an LP record in 1968, “Bonnie was musically inclined.” :-) Billie Jean and Blanche Barrow, as elderly ladies, lived at Cedar Creek Lake (I “think” each had her own home) and hung out a lot together. :-)
If it helps, here in UK the story is still very strong. There are many discrepancy's of the facts(documents/evidence now released) due to time constrictions. The B.S. of the media machine etc. Same here. Check the history of those times, they were a tiny issue relatively. Bonnie and Clyde were BIG at being one step in front of the system !!! They made fools of the media fools, and were good at it. This is what the story is really about. Young desperate lovers in desperate times. It was cruel to end it this way. I do not stand in judgement of the system which instigated this, we have the same over here to this day!. I wish them peace, God bless them.
thanks for an interesting story on Bonnie. It is sad to see these young people make the wrong choices in life. I know it was tough for her and she had to survive , but the path she took led to a short life.
Some writers have opined that Bonnie was not photogenic but that in real life she was very pretty. Some contemporary eyewitness comments rated her appearance in relation to her use of makeup and choice in clothing. A young woman who saw Bonnie in the car being towed into town, was shocked that Bonnie wore a RED dress! Nice women did not use so many cosmetics and apparently did not wear RED dresses. My mother was around the same age as Bonnie and was raised in the Pacific Northwest. Mom said everyone in town must have been poor but no one knew it because no one had much. There were not so many seeds of envy. Grandad worked hard and managed to provide a college education for all three of his children. Mom graduated with a teaching degree and a minor in mathematics. The first time she applied for a teaching job, she left blank the question about religion. The family was not religious and had no specific affiliation. The woman taking the applications called attention to the omission but mom simply said she had no religion. The application was instantly dumped into the trash can. Mom never worked as a teacher but accomplished a lot in her life. My point is, there were currents of social controls in those days. Those who crossed certain lines or failed to measure up to the norms could be rejected and marginalized. Society policed itself but there were many downsides such as women who dressed or acted certain ways, deserved whatever happened to them. A Bonnie Parker, wearing lots of makeup and not fearing to wear a RED dress, may well have been labelled with some nasty names.
That is exactly what I suspected as the reason her appearance was attacked, because she wasn’t being a “good girl” but you just explained it so much better than me in this insightful comment. Thanks for sharing your mother’s story and for watching my video!
@@MMorbid You have a really interesting channel and are doing a good job. You have good attention to details and don't repeat mistakes that so often plague recaps of famous crimes and such.
"celebrities'" now use so much make up face lifts fake hair etc. I've seen "celebrities" without make up and their as normal as everyone else. excellent video thank you
I think many people from the 1960s until current time, expect someone who looks like Faye Dunaway or Holiday Granger, and when they see pics of Bonnie they perhaps unconsciously make comparisons. Hollywood has made both Bonnie and Clyde unusually beautiful. After all...Clyde was certainly no Warren Beatty, lol!!
Not to be a proverbial stick in the mud. But we must remember that Texas Highway Patrolman H.D. Murphy whom was murdered by both Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker also had a family and left behind a fiancee whom couldn't enjoy a life of bliss with her departed fiancee.
To paint the lips in that style was all the rage at that time. Somewhat like women do today with over lining. I’ve noticed that Bonnie really enjoyed fashion. She would have had a great time with all the make up options available these days.
KATHERINE PAISLEY Nowadays ppl like Kardashians gotta puff up their lips to almost comical lengths with Botox as filler! And have the nerve to consider themselves extra beautiful! Lol!!! Even fill up their rear cheeks too much "junk in the trunk" !
@@MMorbid Historically true as well. JEALOUS women HAVE been around forever !! Personally,,,,,,, I could write a book on the subject of having JEALOUS. " so called friends " and family for that matter ...... Merry Christmas. 🎅
The Hargrave's Cafe building is right next door to my doctor's office and I always swing by there whenever I leave. I nearly tossed my cookies that day I came around the corner & saw some clearly insane folk had painted the beautiful original brick exterior BLACK. I don't see how they could know the historical significance of the building and still be ruining it so badly. Good Lord!
I'm really enjoying your Bonnie & Clyde videos. I live in Fort Worth, and I would like to see them buried side by side. Sure, they were bad people, but they're still fascinating. And, sadly had to survive like everybody during that time. Also I wish people would still dress that nice today. Just my opinion
9:21 Bonnie and Clyde are said to have aged tremendously when they were on their crime spree and on the run due to the hard living. One man who saw her when he was young said she was an ugly "dried up" old thing.
The depression ,no jobs….60 years later….would have been different.petrol station mom and pop restaurant ..Henry Barrow was a clever guy..the Bonnie and Clyde burger ..on Route 66…Clyde wasn’t risk averse, he knew all about a petrol station,Bonnie knew all about good food and its presentation,Clyde didn’t mind ripping people off ..Successful drive in Diner formula..right there..
I found Bonnie unconventionally pretty. She had a modern 30s look for her day. Sure she wasnt an all american beauty type or a faye dunaway but she definitely had an unique kind of beauty. Its been said Clydes mum wasnt a fan of any gal in Clydes life so i think it was a clear case of mother in law jealousy. I always saw her and Clyde as equals in looks and personality. These were 2 people who were cut from the same cloth in my opinion and its no wonder they're still talked about till this day and considered one of the most infamous couples of all time. Everybody knows who Bonnie and Clyde is!!!!
Try my series on the victims of Jack the Ripper, Bonnie had it great in comparison. For some female stories with a more positive outcome check out silent movie star Pearl White, or Margaret Brown from Titanic. I’m glad you are enjoying my channel!
Hello, my name is Michael Floyd Higgins, my mother's maiden name is Parker and I have a story that is very hard to believe, It's a very long story and ALOT of unanswered questions I have pertaining to Bonnie and her story compared to my mother's story, have not found very many people that believe my story.
Nice vid, Madame. I, too, think that Bonnie was quite pretty, based on the photos. Love the Clara Bow look. I'm confused about her hair. It seems that she was blonde and then turned into a redhead. Was this natural or hair coloring, I wonder. No big deal, just curious. Ty 👍
Bonnie Parker was a victim the great depression and her loyalty and unconditional love for Clyde Barrow true love which cost her life i think them dying together was better than her been put in prison or given the electric chair as for Clyde he knew he was a dead man just a matter of time yet they stuck together killing law men is not good i don't believe Bonnie killed anyone like portrayed in the movie Highway men Rest in ☮️🙏💕 Bonnie and Clyde God forgive them for there sins and welcome them in your internal heaven
from the day I was born I was a spitfire. I was small most of my life, and id never pass up defending myself. I would give it as it was given. You hit me, im hitting you. My grandpa's neighbor, said I was a mild version of Bonnie.. As a kid, I was a sweet as pie, but if I got picked on or hit, id make that other kid regret it 😂 as a child, id always love learning about them. They both got dealt a crappy hand..
Don't know what to say I don't think she would be that different even today I think she would pick the wrong guy so now many guys she actually dated I know you have more stories about her but Love is blind it was blind years back and it's blind today.
I guess some medical experts think she had a sexual perversion where she found killers sexy, like women who write letters to killers in prison. I’m not sure I buy that because he was a car thief when she met him. And her first husband was too. But they named the disorder for them. Bonnie and Clyde syndrome.
A man who tipped a dime was a big spender, but back then the dimes were 80% silver and two bought you a gallon of gasoline. Things were different then!
I've watched and read many biographies in my time (I'm in my 50s). It seems like men back then either died young or abandoned the family. There's an assumption that marriages lasted decades back then but not true. Men dumped their family just as much as they do now. At least Bonnie didn't have kids with these losers like most women do
Such a shame. Poverty brought on by war. Forced into a poorly made decision as a not brain matured child. Factory worker mom. Intentional destruction of a class of people that drove some to crime out of desperation. I'd of probably gone the same route. Better to burn out than fade away if they were going to break you in your own state & country anyways.
Regardless of whether she hits back, u don’t hit a woman, he would beat her and mistreat her, he wouldn’t even do 1% of What she did for him, clyde die for bonnie? I doubt it
Do people think I'm safe and sound securely signed signature without my knowledge or written consent from doing so in the first place period of myself on my behalf is unauthorized and prohibited from doing so period.
When you really come down To it no one really looks that. Good...even the so called Good lookers..just money. A bath .a clean shave. Haircut The more rich you are the better You look...it's all relevant... A cool face but bad legs.. Bad face but cool legs. Arms to short .or too long. What about those hands ? Feet ? Nobody's perfect nobody !
I don’t know how often, but they did have a really bad fight in Joplin according to Blanche that might have gotten physical. But it was never one sided. If he got physical she did it right back. I do not get the impression that their relationship was abusive, but again I only have access to second hand accounts so who knows.
Do we? I for one could care less about fashion and the older I get the more I crave my leggings and T-shirts and I know a lot of people like me. It may have meant more to people in the 30s. I do think there was more pressure on people then, in terms of needing to look nice. Women weren’t even really allowed to wear pants. I mean they could, but were probably judged for it. My mother, born in the 50s was required to wear a dress to school. So maybe some of this is generational but no, I don’t think everyone wants to dress nice. Some do and love fashion but others couldn’t care less.
@@MMorbid However, I would NOT wear a T-shirt and Jeans to a relative's or friend's Wedding! That's the point I was making! There are some occasions where wearing a Coat and Tie ( at least, for men ) are, more or less, required!
Quit with the poor, downtrodden woman thing. Drive, want , desire, need can lead anyone, man or woman to crime or a respectable life. They CHOSE to become the criminals they were, killers and destroyers of many lives and families. My grandparents lived a couple hours from them at the time and never killed or robbed to get by. They don’t seem to be that downtrodden by the number of existing photos. They came from normal family lives of the time.
Anecdotal evidence is completely irrelevant. What your grandparents did or didn’t do has no bearing on anything, and is not a valid argument. Statistics are valid though, and it’s simply a fact that crime during the Great Depression skyrocketed. It remains true even today, that poverty breeds crime. Rural areas fared better than the cities. At least they could grow their own food. Bonnie and her family weren’t as bad off, at least she always had a roof over her head. The Barrows though, were as poor as it was possible to be. I assure you, pictures of Clyde were no doubt taken by older siblings, some of whom were doing okay. Where Clyde and his parents lived was called the Devil’s Back Porch, because of the crime. You stole or you starved, end of story. I can’t and won’t judge the people of the past. By the standards of then, I have been unbelievably fortunate and spoiled. I had opportunities not open to the vast majority of people back then, especially women and minorities. I don’t know how I would have handled the kind of poverty Clyde dealt with. But I see how he got sucked into crime. He started out stealing chickens. At this point I’ve done some major research on these two. I’ve literally traveled to locations, spoken with experts on them, and read accounts of people who personally knew them, and the evidence simply doesn’t support your opinion. And neither does whatever your grandparents were doing somewhere else and under circumstances unique to them. Clyde got in too deep and Bonnie just wanted to be with Clyde. Without Clyde, there is no Bonnie. It’s a whole lot more complicated than just choosing to be bad. Frankly that’s what I find so interesting about them. If you’re interested in learning about some contemporaries of them I think actually were simply psychopathic killers, check out my recent videos about the Young Brothers. They’re a whole lot easier to see as nothing but cold-blooded killers. At the very least Harry was for sure.
It seems like recently there have been more pictures of Bonnie Parker in my opinion I think she's a very attractive woman. For the longest time it seems like the only pictures available where the ones with her holding a shotgun and a cigar in her mouth those were the only unflattering pictures I've seen. I would give anything to meet her in person without the guns of course
My grandmother (born in 1911 and from West Dallas) was part of the Bonnie and Clyde friend group back in the day. She knew both of them well.

He abandoned her before prison, he came back after being gone about a year and she told him to get lost. Then he went to prison
I believe the last picture of the license plate was what got them caught.

My grandpa's neighbor, said I was a mild version of Bonnie.. As a kid, I was a sweet as pie, but if I got picked on or hit, id make that other kid regret it 😂 as a child, id always love learning about them. They both got dealt a crappy hand..
Bonnie was not ugly. But not stunning.
i think bonnie was an adorable little girl and attractive as a young woman
my dads name was clyde and my brother named after him but we called him buster yrs later they would have a friend named bonnie
daddy love the movie about them and took us to the theater to see it
He wasn't abusive?? But he hit her??
But only when she needed it .
Bonnie's father passed away from a massive heart attack from I read.
I definitely think Bonnie was attractive ❤
You spent a lot of time focusing on her physical appearance which is really quite irrelevant. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
It is, I just thought it was interesting. I’m sorry the issue bored you.
@@MMorbid I never said I was bored. I'm a subscriber :)
Don't know what to say I don't think she would be that different even today I think she would pick the wrong guy so now many guys she actually dated I know you have more stories about her but Love is blind it was blind years back and it's blind today.
I guess some medical experts think she had a sexual perversion where she found killers sexy, like women who write letters to killers in prison. I’m not sure I buy that because he was a car thief when she met him. And her first husband was too. But they named the disorder for them. Bonnie and Clyde syndrome.
Make a episode about Natalie Wood.
That whole story is fishy, no pun intended
Good idea!
Trust me. Bonnie was hot.
& Blanche Barrow
That’s in west Dallas the school she went too .
A man who tipped a dime was a big spender, but back then the dimes were 80% silver and two bought you a gallon of gasoline. Things were different then!
I've watched and read many biographies in my time (I'm in my 50s).
It seems like men back then either died young or abandoned the family.
There's an assumption that marriages lasted decades back then but not true.
Men dumped their family just as much as they do now.
At least Bonnie didn't have kids with these losers like most women do
Such a shame. Poverty brought on by war. Forced into a poorly made decision as a not brain matured child. Factory worker mom. Intentional destruction of a class of people that drove some to crime out of desperation. I'd of probably gone the same route. Better to burn out than fade away if they were going to break you in your own state & country anyways.
The only thing you said in that make's any sense is the " It's Better To Burn Out Than Fade Away ".
How hubert died if he had a Daughter who in this case is bonnie and billie’s niece
Regardless of whether she hits back, u don’t hit a woman, he would beat her and mistreat her, he wouldn’t even do 1% of What she did for him, clyde die for bonnie? I doubt it
Bonnie Blanche and Billy Parker all were hot and Clyde's sister wasn't that ugly she was kind of cute too
They were Killers...
And I’m exploring how they got there. Your point?
But only when people needed killing .
I watch some youtubers that look thirty with their makeup on and sixty with it off.
From the pictures I do not find Bonnie to be unattractive.
I thought she was a cute woman.

When you really come down
To it no one really looks that.
Good...even the so called
Good lookers..just money.
A bath .a clean shave. Haircut
The more rich you are the better
You look...it's all relevant...
A cool face but bad legs..
Bad face but cool legs.
Arms to short .or too long.
What about those hands ?
Feet ? Nobody's perfect nobody !
True love? But Clyde hit her at times..
I don’t know how often, but they did have a really bad fight in Joplin according to Blanche that might have gotten physical. But it was never one sided. If he got physical she did it right back. I do not get the impression that their relationship was abusive, but again I only have access to second hand accounts so who knows.
Don't we all want to dress nice?
Do we? I for one could care less about fashion and the older I get the more I crave my leggings and T-shirts and I know a lot of people like me. It may have meant more to people in the 30s. I do think there was more pressure on people then, in terms of needing to look nice. Women weren’t even really allowed to wear pants. I mean they could, but were probably judged for it. My mother, born in the 50s was required to wear a dress to school. So maybe some of this is generational but no, I don’t think everyone wants to dress nice. Some do and love fashion but others couldn’t care less.
@@MMorbid However, I would NOT wear a T-shirt and Jeans to a relative's or friend's Wedding! That's the point I was making! There are some occasions where wearing a Coat and Tie ( at least, for men ) are, more or less, required!
Bonnie looks like most of the women of her era I don’t think the hairstyles of that time period were very attractive anyway 🤷🏼♀️

Quit with the poor, downtrodden woman thing. Drive, want , desire, need can lead anyone, man or woman to crime or a respectable life. They CHOSE to become the criminals they were, killers and destroyers of many lives and families. My grandparents lived a couple hours from them at the time and never killed or robbed to get by. They don’t seem to be that downtrodden by the number of existing photos. They came from normal family lives of the time.
Anecdotal evidence is completely irrelevant. What your grandparents did or didn’t do has no bearing on anything, and is not a valid argument. Statistics are valid though, and it’s simply a fact that crime during the Great Depression skyrocketed. It remains true even today, that poverty breeds crime. Rural areas fared better than the cities. At least they could grow their own food. Bonnie and her family weren’t as bad off, at least she always had a roof over her head. The Barrows though, were as poor as it was possible to be. I assure you, pictures of Clyde were no doubt taken by older siblings, some of whom were doing okay. Where Clyde and his parents lived was called the Devil’s Back Porch, because of the crime. You stole or you starved, end of story. I can’t and won’t judge the people of the past. By the standards of then, I have been unbelievably fortunate and spoiled. I had opportunities not open to the vast majority of people back then, especially women and minorities. I don’t know how I would have handled the kind of poverty Clyde dealt with. But I see how he got sucked into crime. He started out stealing chickens. At this point I’ve done some major research on these two. I’ve literally traveled to locations, spoken with experts on them, and read accounts of people who personally knew them, and the evidence simply doesn’t support your opinion. And neither does whatever your grandparents were doing somewhere else and under circumstances unique to them. Clyde got in too deep and Bonnie just wanted to be with Clyde. Without Clyde, there is no Bonnie. It’s a whole lot more complicated than just choosing to be bad. Frankly that’s what I find so interesting about them. If you’re interested in learning about some contemporaries of them I think actually were simply psychopathic killers, check out my recent videos about the Young Brothers. They’re a whole lot easier to see as nothing but cold-blooded killers. At the very least Harry was for sure.
It seems like recently there have been more pictures of Bonnie Parker in my opinion I think she's a very attractive woman. For the longest time it seems like the only pictures available where the ones with her holding a shotgun and a cigar in her mouth those were the only unflattering pictures I've seen. I would give anything to meet her in person without the guns of course
