But I didn't know she was a wanted FBI criminal when I knew her. She was definitely NOT in hiding. She was very prominent in the Minneapolis theater scene (she did a much talked about Lady Macbeth!). She ran a book store. She threw BIG parties with the best food. She was very active in her Episcopal church. She was very nice. She was married to a doctor and had two nice daughters. Who would have known she had a past.
The last I saw her she was in a play, La Rhonde, where she played a 1910 hooker. I helped out here and there backstage. I zipped up her "salon girl" dress (because she asked ME to).
I zipped up the dress of a Patty Hearst criminal !!! Aaahh!!!
Then one day I was watching the TV news and there she was, arrested, and making news across the whole Country. She wasn't involved in the Patty Hearst kidnapping directly, but she was a part of that rebellious crowd. There was a bank robbery that she was involved in and a woman got shot and killed. Sarah wasn't in the bank, but was in the getaway van, and that makes her a criminal. And they say she put bombs under police cars (but nobody saw her do it and none of them went off).
She'll be in prison for a very long time.

But Peter... I didn't know you were two degrees from Patty Hearst. I only knew you danced with Prince once. Which was bad enough. *tsk*
Now you know how she afforded the big parties and the very best food; robbing banks!
(Her mugshot needs you to Photoshop a few touch-ups).
I doubt if her husband knew about her past- that must have been a real shock for him and her daughters to find out. Tragic really.
Plus! I have dresses in my closet, although they are not salon girl type dresses, they are dresess just the same, and some of them even have zippers!!!
Pretty cool story, Peter. Bet you were slack-jawed when you saw her on tv.
Anyway, I came home from work 3 days after I'd moved in, and I saw several police cars in the parking lot, and 3 officers leading, guess who, away in handcuffs. I was in shock because I couldn't imagine what was going on.
I went into my apartment and turned on the TV. About an hour later the news came on and guess whose picture was on the screen as the lead story?
They proceeded to tell how this young man whose WIFE was still in the hospital after giving birth to their first child, had taken a young female out into the country and shot her in the back and left her for dead (she died) after a wild party he threw to "celebrate" his newborn son. She was a guest at the party which took place the day before I moved in. They never said why he did it.
And that was my initiation into life on my own as a young single girl.
Next you'll be telling us that you're a serial killer.
What happened to Joan again?
Te he!
Thank you for reminding me, Peter. Seriously. I had a flashback to an apartment when I was 19 years old and a news report on a black and white TV.
I'm really old.
Different times, different behavior.
Thanks for pointing this out. By their own criteria, we can now call all of those right wingers terrorists. If they don't leave, they hang in the same neighborhood with the man they call a terrorist. This will be fun.
I asked a friend to escort my daughter on an errand once because there had been a number of rapes in the area. He did. We were grateful. A few days later, that friend was arrested because he was the rapist.
He is no longer with us. He died in prison after being convicted of espionage and high treason. He sold top secret Nato war plans.
I had a crush on a spy.
Peter, I remember seeing this on tv, and how she hadnt been in trouble for all of these years, but she still had to pay for her past crimes...
Just kidding!!! JUST KIDDING!!!!!!!!!
Woody Allen fans will get this, otherwise you have a great movie to see. (Take the Money and Run - from back when Woody was Funny)
