  Etta Place - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Etta Place (c.1878–?) was a companion of the American outlaws Butch Cassidy (real name Robert LeRoy Parker) and the Sundance Kid (Harry Alonzo Longabaugh), both members of the outlaw gang known as the Wild Bunch.
This is confirmed by a hospital staff record from Denver, where she received treatment in May 1902, which reports her age as "23 or 24", (therefore again, c.1878), although both records may transpire to be from the same original source, i.e.
It has been conjectured, often without any real evidence, that she was variously a cousin of Longabaugh's (hence the surname Place), that she was a cattle rustler named Ann Bassett (d.1956) who knew and operated with the Wild Bunch at the turn of the 20th century, and that she was a cousin of a Mr.

This initial sequence between Sundance and Etta operates by means of a subject’s exercise of power over another’s body, clearly establishing roles of actor (the subject imposing his will) and spectacle (the object of that will as a site to be seen and evaluated) as gendered positions.
Etta "knows" she is a woman only because the regulatory practice—the technology—of gender is continually reinforced as normative, a process in which all subjects must participate.
Like Etta, they serve to constitute the bond between Butch and Sundance as men (as objects to be robbed and thus mastered), yet they simultaneously threaten to dissolve that bond and destroy the subjects whom they serves.

 Butch Cassidy & Sundance Kid III--Wyoming Tales and Trails
There is no consensus as to the indentity of Etta Place or as to her ultimate fate.
Indeed, it is unclear as to whether her given name was "Etta," or, more likely, "Ethel." Some contend that she was a school teacher, other contend that she was a soiled dove from a house in San Antonio.
The difficulty with the theory is that Etta Place was in New York with Sundance in January of 1901 and, thus, could not have departed on the stage in February 1901.

 Review: Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
When a "super posse" was formed to capture them, Butch and Sundance, along with Sundance's girlfriend, Etta Place (who was either a schoolteacher or a prostitute, depending upon the information's source), headed south to Bolivia, where they lived in relative peace and seclusion for several years.
In all, Bacharach composed only about 12 minutes of music, and it is used during three sequences: when Butch takes Etta for a ride on his bicycle, when the three companions stop in New York on their way to Bolivia, and during a montage that introduces their return to an illegal occupation in South America.
Ironically, although Etta was Sundance's girlfriend, the rapport between Ross and Newman is stronger than the one between Ross and Redford.
