  Famed kidnapping victim Patricia Hearst pays visit to 'Veronica Mars' - Reality TV World - News, information, episode ...
Famed kidnapping victim Patricia Hearst returned to the media spotlight with an appearance on the U.S. TV series "Veronica Mars" Tuesday night.
The 52-year-old Hearst, who has been in several films by director John Waters, said she was hesitant to appear on the series as a character so clearly linked to her real persona.
Hearst also said that while the nation's ongoing interest in her kidnapping still bothers her, she has managed to make some degree of peace with her situation.

  Patricia Hearst Biography | Encyclopedia of World Biography
Patricia Hearst (born 1954) was heiress to a wealthy newspaper publisher when she was kidnapped and held for ransom by a small leftist terrorist group in California.
Patricia was the granddaughter of William Randolph Hearst, the wealthy California newspaper publisher, but during months of harsh captivity she was allegedly brainwashed and renamed "Tania." To obtain her release, her parents donated millions of dollars worth of food to the poor, but the giveaway became a fiasco and did not result in her release.
When Hearst was filmed in April 1974 assisting the SLA in a San Francisco bank robbery, the kidnapping victim was transformed in the public mind into another spoiled, rich college student whose unconventional lifestyle led to crime as a self-confessed "urban guerrilla" and "radical feminist." Patty was captured a year later during a police shoot-out.

 unfavorable pink: Every Secret Thing, Patricia Campbell Hearst
The thing that made Hearst's kidnapping so bizarre (besides the fact that she was part of the Hearst family) was that she chose to join the group and, in fact, participated in bank robberies and other criminal activities.
Hearst claimed brainwashing as a defense during her trial (bank robbery), which neither the judge nor the jury bought.
Frankly, Hearst's explanation for her behavior is not all that convincing, perhaps because her defense -- brainwashing a la the kind suffered by prisoners or war -- is an intensely strange, unusual and hard to understand phenomon.
