why didn't they make bonnie...
a redhead?
shareOr even brown hair, seeing that she had both. But I don't recall her ever being blonde...oh well, blonde is what sells.
shareThat's 'cause Bonnie WAS a blonde. A "dishwater blonde" as her sister Billie Jean called her." When Bonnie was a baby/tot, her hair was the color of cotton. When she was older she'd become a dirty blonde. In her adulthood Bonnie liked to experiment with her hair, giving it a reddish hue. I guess that's why i-love-movies-1 was under the impression that she was a redhead. Furthermore, she always wore her hair up, tucked underneath a beret or hat, and the addition of black-and-white photography made her dyed hair look dark.
shareFurthermore, I was just reading BONNIE AND CLYDE: A-TWENTY-FIRST-CENTURY UPDATE, and on page 163 there's a photo of a wanted poster released days before the ambush. Bonnie's stats are as follows:
