Rev. Mother Dolores: A Very Remarkable Woman

           I accidentally read an article about a famous actress of Hollywood in the early 1960' who left the Hollywood limelight and her loving fiance to follow her true call, to become a Cloistered Nun. I was really amazed and astonished by her bold actions. And so I wanna write something about her.


            Her name is Dolores Hart, the first woman who gave the Elvis Presley his first on-screen kiss. She was a Hollywood brat having her parents work in the Hollywood. She also came from a broken family and a non-religious Catholic. During her 6 years stint in Hollywood, she was able to be in the lead role of 9 box-office hits. 


This is here THEN:


              She said that after 40 years in service to God, she still has many things to discover about God and faith and that there are still many lessons needed to be learned. 

This is her during her acceptance of her vocation:

What a very solemn and striking beauty! 

This is her NOW:



            See the difference? You can see a true happiness in her smile, peace in her face. I read somewhere, "Many are called but few are chosen". At present, she is the Prioress of the Abbey and the sole Nun member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. Isnt that great?

          The other side of her amazing journey was about her ex-fiance, Don Robinson. i can really say that its true love, why? Because when she told him about her plans to enter the abbey, he supported her. They remain close friends until his death and he never marries. i read somewhere that said "As a man, I thought it would be pretty tough to lose you future wife to another man... but if GOD was the other man, I guess it might be a little easier"; I agree with him. :)


I Salute You Mother Dolores!!! :) May God Showers You More Blessings!!!
