Twin brothers Ronald "Ronnie" Kray, 24 October 1933 - 17 March 1995, and Reginald "Reggie" Kray, 24 October 1933 - 1 October 2000. Violent East London gangsters with celebrity connections. Arrested in 1968 and convicted of murder they spent the rest of their lives in prison. Amazingly, from inside prison they ran Krayleigh Enterprises, a "lucrative bodyguard and 'protection' business for Hollywood stars" including Frank Sinatra who hired 18 bodyguards in 1985.
