How Young Starlet Dolores Hart Went From Thriving In Hollywood To Becoming A Nun At Just 24-Years-Old

“I felt in my heart this [Hollywood] was not my path. God was calling me, and I felt it in my heart that I needed to answer.”

Dolores’ Lasting Legacy

Dolores has now been a cloistered nun for fifty-eight years and continues to live at the Abbey of Regina Laudis in Connecticut.

Over the years, she has used her fame and notable network– including Patricia O’Neal and Paul Newman– to foster community connection and expansion projects for the Abbey.

Dolores has also been the subject of an HBO documentary entitled God Is The Bigger Elvis, which premiered in 2012. The documentary was nominated for Best Documentary at the Academy Awards that year, where Dolores actually attended her first red-carpet event since 1959.

Finally, Dolores penned an autobiography entitled “The Ear of the Heart: An Actress’ Journey From Hollywood To Holy Vows” and released it in 2013. There, the former starlet discusses her physical, emotional, and spiritual evolution that has continued to fascinate the public for decades.
