Pop Culture: Thalia's Sisters Kidnapped

Thalia’s sisters kidnapped

The immensely popular pop singer’s apparently charmed life was shattered briefly when her sisters, actress Laura Zapata and writer Ernestina Sodi, were kidnapped and held for a $5 million ransom, then released after 18 and 36 days, respectively. Zapata later said in an interview that Thalia had played a critical role in negotiating with the kidnappers for their release and for a lower ransom.
