John Dillinger (22 June 1903–22 July 1934) was a bank robber in the midwestern United States during the early 1930s.
He was born (and is buried) in Indianapolis.
Newest movie about his exploits is Public Enemies, out in 2009 and starring Johnny Depp as Dillinger. See this review in Slate.
Check out this post by Indy blogger Ruth Holladay about the whereabouts of, ahem, Dillinger's penis (or at least the photo of it).
And, the Indiana State Library, 315 West Ohio Street, Indianapolis, has a Dillinger exhibit on display 15 July through 31 December 2009. The exhibit includes artifacts, photographs and documents to give visitors a look into the life of John Dillinger and what factors led this ordinary Hoosier farm boy towards a life of crime.
