Bonnie and Clyde were two of the most famous American outlaws of the early 20th century. They were known for their criminal activities, which included robbery and murder, and they became notorious for their daring escapes from law enforcement. The couple met in Texas in 1930 and began their crime spree shortly thereafter. They gained notoriety for their robberies of banks and stores, and their exploits were widely reported in the media. They were eventually killed in a police ambush in 1934.
