When I was a kid, back in the early 50’s., I went to the Alabama State Fair. There was an exhibit there that had a host of historical things of horror. There were lamp shades of human skin made by Nazi’s among other things. Also, the car that Bonnie and Clyde were killed in was there as well pictures of that event. Bonnie was sitting in the driver’s seat with the door open. She was riddled with bullets. The bridge of her nose was shot away and her nose was hanging over her lips.
B & C were so glorified even before the movie came out to the point that my mom thought they hadn't killed anybody. I, as a kid, had to educate her about that.
