Rosalind Franklin actually was the first person to get a clear picture of DNA. she did alot of studies about it at Kings College. A fellow collegue Maurice Wilkins gave the picture of the DNA also know as photo 51 to Francis Crick and James Watson over at Cambridge University. It was through this photo and information that they were able to create the first DNA structure also known as the double helix.
James Watson and Francis Crick not only discovered the double helix, but they built the first model too. Although they are sometimes solely accredited for the discovery, they received substantial help from Rosalind Franklin, whose X-ray crystallography images were vital to the discovery.

Watson and Crick are the two you are thinking of.
Maurice Wilkins also received the Nobel prize. His colleague Roslind Franklin had passed away and did not share in that prize.

DNA is a double helix made of two strands linked together with hydrogen bonds.

Watson and Crick
Watson created a model of the DNA double helix structure along with Francis Crick. Rosalind Franklin discovered the structure of DNA by using X-ray diffraction. Watson and Crick used Franklin's unpublished data without her consent in the construction of the double helix model and took credit for the findings.

Watson & Crick came up with double helical structure of DNA molecule.

double helix, twisted ladder, spiral staircase.
These were Watson and Crick while working on DNA. They proposed the double helix model of DNA.
The double helix model became the accepted structure of DNA because it fit the experimental evidence, especially from X-ray crystallography of the DNA molecule.
