Laura Guadalupe Zapata Miranda (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈlawɾa ɣwaðaˈlupe saˈpata miˈɾanda] born July 31, 1956) is a Mexican support telenovela actress, singer, and dancer. She has acted in Televisa productions.
Family
Born in Mexico City, Zapata is the daughter of Guillermo Zapata Pérez de Utrera (a Mexican boxer, model and businessman) and Yolanda Miranda Mange (from her first marriage). She married Juan Eduardo Sodi de la Tijera. Zapata is the half-sister of music superstar Thalía, Federica, Gabriela, and Ernestina Sodi, a well-known writer, and biographer. She has two sons, Claudio Sodi and Patricio Sodi. Zapata is also a singer and dancer. Laura and Thalía were the first family members to gain international fame by acting and singing. In Maria Mercedes, one of Thalía's first soap operas, Laura played a villain opposite her sister. In the world of telenovelas, she is as well known for her antagonist roles.
Kidnapping
In September 2002, Laura and her sister Ernestina were kidnapped and taken to an unspecified location. The news of their kidnapping made headlines across Latin America and among the Spanish-speaking television channels of the United States.
Thalía, her half-sister, is married to multi-millionaire Tommy Mottola, so it was speculated that their captors would ask for a large sum of money. Instead, Laura was released 18 days after her kidnapping, and her sister Ernestina was released on the 34th day.[2]

Notes
- ^ In most of the verifiable sources appears 1954 as year of her birth, however this is disputed,[original research?] since between her and her sister, the famous singer and actress Thalía, there is a 19-year age difference, and Thalía's birth year is 1971, according to most sources.
