The streets of San Francisco were revisited by the Symbionese Liberation Army--or at least a film crew and actors playing the notorious 1970s terrorist group--over the weekend. Publishing heiress Patty Hearst’s days as the gun-toting revolutionary Tanya are being filmed by director Paul Schrader, whose films include “American Gigolo” and “Cat People.” Starring as Hearst is Natasha Richardson, 24, daughter of Vanessa Redgrave and director Tony Richardson. “Patty didn’t tell me how to play it,” actress Richardson said, “but I identify with how she felt.”
