Bonnie And Clyde, the villains immortalised on the big screen by Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway, have been exposed as dirty, filthy cripples in a new biography.
The 1967 movie portrayed the 1930s bank-robbing couple as a glamorous and attractive criminal duo - but Jeff Guinn's book Go Down Together offers a different take on the notiorous outlaws.
He writes, "(They) were both cripples. He deliberately cut off two of his own toes while in a Texas prison and limped badly, and Bonnie's leg was so horribly burned in a car wreck caused by Clyde's reckless driving that she hopped rather than walked, and usually had to be carried.
"(They) spent most nights in their car, eating cans of cold beans, relieving themselves behind bushes and bathing in streams."
Bonnie and Clyde are set to be resurrected in a new movie in 2010 - starring Hilary Duff and Kevin Zegers.

"...but Jeff Guinn's book Go Down Together offers a different take"
Barrow's missing toes and Parker's burns have been covered in several books. Old books.
"Bonnie and Clyde are set to be resurrected in a new movie in 2010 - starring Hilary Duff and Kevin Zegers."
*explosive vomit onslaught*
So now, besides being waylaid on cable TV by the poopoo 2003 version of The Thomas Crown Affair starring doodoo and caca instead of the COOL 1969 version starring Steve McQueen and Faye Dunaway, I must beware of chubbo and whozit's take on the CLASSIC Bonnie & Clyde, too???
Laughable!...Disgusting...but laughable!
Despite the gross liberties taken in George Roy Hill's 1967 version of Bonnie and Clyde, it's a STONE f@cking CLASSIC movie.
I don't know WHO the hell "Zegers" is, but Hillary Duff is a hog. Hardly Texas depression-era material.
Did I mention that Hillary Duff is fat?
