Patricia Campbell Hearst (born February 20, 1954) is an American author and actress.
A granddaughter of the American publishing magnate William Randolph Hearst, she became internationally known for events following her 1974 kidnapping by a left-wing terrorist group, the Symbionese Liberation Army.
Hearst was found 19 months after being abducted, by which time she was a fugitive wanted for serious crimes committed with members of the group.
She was held in custody, and there was speculation before trial that her family's resources would enable her to avoid time in jail. At her trial, the prosecution suggested that Hearst had joined the Symbionese Liberation Army of her own volition.
However, Hearst testified that she had been raped and threatened with death while held captive.
In 1976, she was convicted for the crime of bank robbery and sentenced to 35 years in prison, later reduced to 7 years.
Her sentence was commuted by President Jimmy Carter, and she was later pardoned by President Bill Clinton.
