8/10 I guessed Bronson played The Sundance Kid, because I don't recall Butch Cassidy having served time in prison...
Hi,
Cassidy served time for stealing a horse in Wyoming.
You can't trust Hollywood's versions in any event.
They made a Western hero out of a hideous looking murdering punk from NYC,
Billy the Kid. Played by Paul Newman no less.
