One that Hollywood got right

     Most of you know of the famous outlaw leaders Butch Cassidy (Robert LeRoy Parker) and the Sundance Kid (Harry Longabaugh). Longabaugh's girlfriend was Etta Place. In the famous 1969 movie, Longabaugh and Place were portrayed by Robert Redford and Katharine Ross, two of Hollywood's prettiest faces. Very often, criminal types are over-cast in movies in typical Hollywood style. However, in the case of Longabaugh and Place, they may actually have been under-cast, as the real-life picture below shows. The outlaw pair made a strikingly attractive couple, and there actually was a certain amount of resemblance between Longabaugh and Redford.
