1934 - Charles "Pretty Boy" Floyd, the notorious bank robber, was shot and killed by Federal agents in East Liverpool, OH.  He operated in the Midwest and West South States, and his criminal exploits gained heavy press coverage in the 1930s. Like most other prominent outlaws of that era, he was killed by policemen. He remains a familiar figure in American popular culture, sometimes seen as notorious, but at other times viewed as a tragic figure, partly a victim of hard times.  Floyd was portrayed by Channing Tatum, in the box office hit "Public Enemies", also starring Christian Bale and Johnny Depp.  Be a winner with the Classic Rewards Club when you enter today's keyword Pretty.  Good luck and thanks for listening.
