Patty Hearst <img src="http://www.toptenz.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/patty-hearst-robs-bank.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Patty Hearst is the granddaughter of publishing magnate William Randolph  Hearst. On February 4, 1974 the 19-year-old Hearst was kidnapped from  her Berkeley, California apartment by a left-wing urban guerrilla group  called the Symbionese Liberation Army (SLA). The Symbionese Liberation  Army was an American terrorist organization born out of a number of  radical prison advocacy groups. After Hearst was kidnapped, she was  taken to a house in Daly City, California and kept in a closet. After 57  days of being blindfolded, gagged and tied up, Hearst was indoctrinated  with SLA political literature. The SLA demanded that the Hearst family distribute $70 worth of food to  every needy Californian, an operation that would cost an estimated $400  million. Hearst’s father arranged for the immediate donation of $6  million worth of food. In response, Patty Hearst was never released. On  April 3, 1974, Patty announced on an audiotape that she had joined the  Symbionese Liberation Army and assumed the name Tania. She became a  well-known victim of Stockholm syndrome. Stockholm syndrome is a term  used to describe a phenomenon where hostages express positive feelings  towards their captors. It is a condition caused by extreme mental and  physical abuse. On April 15, 1974 Patty Hearst was photographed wielding an M1 carbine  rifle while robbing the Sunset District branch of the Hibernia Bank in  San Francisco. Cameras were able to capture Patty as she yelled “I’m  Tania, up against the wall.” The images of Hearst quickly spread around  the world. A warrant was issued for her arrest and in September 1975,  Patty was arrested in a San Francisco apartment with other SLA members.  Patty Hearst was convicted of bank robbery on March 20, 1976 and was  sentenced to 35 years imprisonment. Her sentence was later commuted to  seven years and she served 22 months. Interesting Fact Patty Hearst was granted a full pardon by President Bill Clinton on  January 20, 2001. After her release from prison, Patty married her  former bodyguard, Bernard Shaw. They have two children, Gillian and  Lydia Hearst-Shaw, and reside in Garrison, New York.</blockquote>
