Now

Once an in-demand Hollywood actress, Dolores Hart shocked the entertainment industry when she gave up everything to become a cloistered Benedictine Roman Catholic nun. She left her career, broke off her engagement to Los Angeles businessman Don Robinson, and pursued her vocation as a nun.

I heard an interview with her on Catholic radio the other day...at least I think it was. She was talking about Elvis, and how when she knew him he was a good man.

The strangest thing...Elvis Presley has been showing up in various posts on various forums. I was never a big Elvis fan, so it's not that I am searching for Elvis. They just pop up in comments or in posts like this. Very weird.

I know she’s the only nun who gets to participate in the vote for Oscar nominees.

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

Didn’t she become a nun just after playing the part of a young girl becoming a nun in a major motion picture film about Saint Francis of Asissi?
