Her Story

Bonnie Elizabeth Parker, notorious as part of the legendary gangster duo Bonnie and Clyde, marks the 90th anniversary of her death this year. Her contradictory and multifaceted personality often remained hidden behind the veil of criminality and a sensationalized history of reception.

Her criminal "career" came to a brutal end on May 23, 1934, when she was lured into a deadly ambush by Frank Hamer and his team. The media's glamorization of her actions led to a lasting myth that lives on in numerous books, films, and even musicals. Despite their violent lives, the fascination with the duo remains unbroken, although their reality was far less romantic and far more tragic than the legends suggest.
