Veteran bootlegger. Prolific bank robber. Kidnapper extraordinaire. Ruthless criminal mastermind. With a nickname as hardcore as George "Machine Gun" Kelly's, it should come as no surprise that such terms are frequently associated with him.
86 years may have come and gone since his death, but this Depression-era mobster's name and legacy are still as relevant as ever. Not only has this legendary nickname been adopted by a popular rapper, he remains the subject of various articles, books, songs, films, and other pop culture mediums. Of course, given his fame and notoriety, it's always fair to ask how much truth there is to the riveting, action-packed tales surrounding his short, memorable life of crime.
