Bonnie & Clyde

A Man who loves fast cars and the woman who loves him- oh, and Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow.  It is said that when they met, it was love at first sight.  Young rebellious, and in love, they stole the heart of a Nation - and everything else they could carry. Robbery, Kidnapping, Murder;during their 2 year crime spree, they were believed to have committed 13 murders and several robberies and burglaries.  Before dawn on May 23, 1934, a posse concealed themselves in bushes along the highway near Sailes, Louisiana. In the early daylight, Bonnie and Clyde appeared in an automobile and when they attempted to drive away, the officers opened fire.  Bonnie and Clyde were never married (to each other) but only death could part them.

Sid Viscous & Nancy Spungen

 Before Kurt and Courtney, there was Sid and Nancy- sex, drugs and Rock and Roll ruled their short lives, and while they lived hard and died young, neither looked good in the casket.  Sid died from a heroin overdose four months after being accused of stabbing Nancy to death in their New York apartment.
