BUTCH AND SUNDANCE SHARED A MISTRESS

LITTLE DETAIL IS ACTUALLY KNOWN OF THE LIFE OF ETTA PLACE WHO WAS THE MISTRESS OF BOTH BUTCH CASSIDY AND THE SUNDANCE KID. The only known photograph of Etta Place is a formal portrait taken with Sundance in New York City prior to Butch, Sundance and Etta booking passage on the S.S. Herminious bound for South America. It is believed that Butch and Sundance perished in South America at the hands of Pinkerton Agents though there are rumors they survived. Etta's fate is also unknown. One theory is that all three survived and later resided together on a ranch in Mexico. LARRY ELKINS Elkinsphotos Fine Art Photography
