She is a joy-filled woman with kind eyes that shine with a mischievous twinkle. Today I met Reverend Mother Dolores at Book Expo. She’s lived for over fifty years as a sister of the Benedictine order and is the reverend prioress of the abbey in Connecticut. It was a shock to many of her time because she was incredibly beautiful and was linked to many of the hottest men of the time, including Elvis Presley. Not long after that movie was filmed, Dolores Hart left Hollywood and joined the convent. In one scene, the camera did a tight shot of Hart as she said, “then you can just go to hell.” In my life, it was the first time I ever saw a woman stand up for herself with a man. I don’t remember all the details but actress Dolores Hart got angry at some guy who mistreated her. One of those movies was about a bunch of flight attendants. When I was a kid, I watched a lot of television, including a lot of old movies.
