Myra Maybelle Shirley Reed Starr was born in Carthage, Missouri, in 1848. Frank and Jesse James's gang hid out at her family's farm when she was a kid, and from then on she was hooked on the outlaw life. Her husband Jim Reed shot a man, causing both to be on the run, robbing banks and counterfeiting. Starr, known to wear feathers in her hair, buckskins, and a pistol on each hip, was shot in the back while riding in 1889...it's still unclear if her death was accidental -- or something more sinister..
