5. Bonnie Parker and Blanche Barrow: The Bluest Shot-At Eyes in Texas
Bonnie Parker Thornton and Blanche Caldwell Callaway were two despondent flappers at the close of the 1920s. In fact, the popular 1929 song “Am I Blue?” could have been written for them. But in 1930, at the start of the U.S.’s Great Depression, they met two brothers, Clyde and Buck, who were known as the ‘Barrow Gang.’ Somehow, these two petty criminals and ex-cons won the hearts of Bonnie and Blanche to the extent that neither woman would desert them, even when the Barrow brothers’ violent deaths were inevitable and their own lives were in danger. This episode presents the details of their hardscrabble lives before, during, and–in Blanche’s case–after voluntarily becoming road-mates with the men who eventually became murderers and the subjects of one of the largest manhunts of the 1930s. Bonnie and Blanche were at once tough and vulnerable, glamorous and unsophisticated, self-centered and utterly devoted to others.
