![]() ![]() Now Mother Dolores is somewhat of a public figure again. She has become a mother prioress and the abbey is flourishing, with a professional theater group performing in the summer, internships and several new postulants. Dolores Hart was one of Hollywood’s top ingenues, giving Elvis Presley his first screen kiss in 1957’s “Loving You” and then reuniting with him a year later in “King Creole.” She worked with such legends as Anthony Quinn and Anna Magnani in 1957’s “Wild Is the Wind” and Robert Ryan and Montgomery Clift in 1958’s “Lonelyhearts,” then earned a Tony Award nomination in 1959 for her first play, the romantic comedy “The Pleasure of His Company.”Ī devout Catholic since the age of 10, she broke off her engagement to Don Robinson in 1963 and entered the cloistered Benedictine Abbey of Regina Laudis in Bethlehem, Conn., where as Mother Dolores Hart she has lead a life of contemplation and hospitality. ![]()
