The story of Willie Sutton is one of the most astonishing in the annals of crime. Known as 'Willie the Actor' for his clever and disarming impersonations, his career was an amazingly successful one of fabulous bank robberies, daring prison breaks, and front page headlines, all of which captured the imagination of America. Yet Willie Sutton was 'clean'-throughout his life of crime he never killed anyone, and he was known as much for his intelligence, manners, and dapper elegance as for his audacious escapades.
