Starting at $5.99 – $24.99

Let RetroSparX spark your memory with From Heiress to Terrorist – The Patty Hearst Story! The abduction of Patty Hearst made headlines around the world. But it was the story that followed – a tale of Ms. Hearst embracing her captors’ cause and joining them in their crusade of crime – that made history. Everything about it was sensational, from the moment her apartment door was broken through to when two American presidents intervened to set her free from prison and to grant her clemency for her crimes. Few crime stories have played out so publicly.
