Dolores Hart | Born 1938

Despite not a lot of people knowing about her, Dolores Hart was once one of Hollywood’s most stunning stars. She started her career in 1956 when she played a supporting role as a love interest to Elvis Presley in Loving You. Her debut role made her famous and led to two more films starring alongside Elvis. Among her most notable roles include The Virginian, Where the Boys Are, and The Inspector.

Following Hart’s massive success in her career, she grabbed everybody’s attention in 1963 when she announced that she would enter into an abbey to become a nun. Apparently, Pope John XXIII can be credited for inspiring her vocation. Today, at age 84, she is a Benedictine nun at the Abbey of Regina Laudis. Her long presence in the abbey helped make it a well-known sponsor of theatrical productions. Despite her religious duties, she still retains a piece of Hollywood via being a member of the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences.
