looked up some info on her.. she did not resemble estelle parsons at all... she was a tough looking woman with dark hair but kinda pretty and sexy in a way.... she hated the way she was portrayed in this film..
After she got out of prison, she moved away and got married and got a job and led a normal life...

As normal as you can with parole officers following you around every time you move anyway. I read her book and I liked the real deal better than Parson's performance. What bugs me is that Parson tried for so long to meet the real Blanche, and then when she got the chance, didn't.

She looks quite pretty in the photos, probably better looking than the real Bonnie.
