Dolores Hart had the clean-scrubbed good looks and ability to become a leading lady at age 19. At that age, she signed a seven-year contract with Paramount. She co-starred with Elvis a couple of times, and played the lead in the seminal "Where the Boys Are" and starred in a dozen films. Those achievements alone make her a one-in-a-million girl. What makes her a one-in-a billion girl was what she did afterward.
In 1963, at the top of career and engaged to a handsome eligible real estate developer, Hart left it all to become a Roman Catholic Benedictine nun at the Abbey Regina Laudis Monastery in Connecticut at age 24. Ladies and gentlemen, this does not happen. NOBODY abandons fame, popularity, beauty, wealth, and youth to serve God. The lure of the godless trappings of atheist Hollywood is just too great. Remember, this is a place where multiple marriages and divorces are the norm. Where adultery is common. Where discarding people is a way of life. Hollywood was and is a leftwing wasteland. Filled with beautiful people, drunk with excess and pleasure, paving their way to Hell. And in the midst of this Sodom but not drawn to it.....was the beautiful pure Dolores hart.
She debuted in 1957's Loving You with Elvis, as his fresh-faced love interest. Blonde hair, crystal-clear blue eyes, and a megawatt smile, she was called the next Grace Kelley. But she was far different than the bed-hopping nympho Kelley, who slept with anyone who could conceivably advance her career. Hart was getting up a 6 a.m. to attend daily Mass. Yes, she every bit as wholesome in real life as she was portrayed in Loving You. 59 years later, she's still at the abbey at 83. Her then-fiance Don Robinson visited her in the abbey twice a year every year for 48 years until his death in 2011. He never married.
Hart's story is just so incredible and refreshing, it fills me with hope and inspiration every time I think of it.

Perhaps she was a casualty of the 'Hollyweird Machine', and got used up. Like Elvis.
