Grobel explained how he became the lucky journalist to get the Patty Hearst interview for Playboy after she had served two years in prison before President Jimmy Carter commuted her sentence:
“Patty Hearst is coming with her husband for breakfast to the mansion,” Christie Hefner told me over the phone. “Why don’t you join us?”
“You mean to see if she’d agree to do the Interview?” I asked. I had done several Playboyinterviews by then, including marathon sessions with two highly elusive stars, Barbra Streisand and Marlon Brando
“You never know,” Christie said.

From hours of exclusive interview tapes, we honed in on the idea of "reasonable doubt" and Hearst's unsuccessful claim that she was brainwashed by her captors, the Symbionese Liberation Army (SLA), and forced to join their wild ride of bank robbery and crime. Hearst says the SLA told her she would be killed if she didn't pledge allegiance to their radical cause.
What would you have done in her shoes?
Get more on the Patty Hearst case and back story to the interview with one of the most infamous women of the 20th century.
