Thalia's sisters (Ernestina and Laura Zapata)

It was like the plot of one of her telenovelas—only it wasn't. In September of 2002, kidnappers target the family members of Mexican star, Thalia. Ernestina Sodi and soap star Laura Zapata—two of Thalia’s four sisters—were kidnapped on the street in Mexico while they were coming out a play. While Laura was released a week later, Ernestina was held captive for at least a month before she was released, unharmed. A friend of Thalia's family, Shanik Berman, told the press the kidnappers had requested a $1 million dollar ransom.
