One notable omission from that list is Harold Abrahams. His conversion was noteworthy because he is most renowned for his portrayal in the Academy Award winning film, Chariots of Fire, in which his Judaism and family ancestry is very much a part of his character's personality. He converted to Catholicism in the 1930s, and viewers of the movie would have had a hint of this because the scenes from his memorial service at the start and end of the movie take place in a Christian church.

Thank you. Interesting!
I hope you --- and other FReepers ---- will feel free to add the names of other illustrious converts. What joy in heaven!!
