In Greek mythology, Thalia ("good cheer") was the muse of comedy and pastoral poetry. She was a rural goddess with the attributes of a comic mask and a shepherd's crook.
Thalia lives in New York, where she married Sony Music President Tommy Mottola. Her two sisters, Laura Zapata and an unidentified one, were kidnapped recently but Zapata was found alive by Mexican police. Her other sister was also released alive.
