Synopsis"Listen and attend with the ear of your heart." - Saint Benedict. Dolores Hart stunned Hollywood in 1963, when after ten highly successful feature films, she chose to enter a contemplative monastery. Now, fifty years later, Mother Dolores gives this fascinating account of her life, with co-author and life-long friend, Richard DeNeut. Dolores was a bright and beautiful college student when she made her film debut with Elvis Presley in Paramount's 1957 Loving You . She acted in nine more movies with other big stars such as Montgomery Clift, Anthony Quinn and Myrna Loy. She also gave a Tony-nominated performance in the Broadway play The Pleasure of His Company and appeared in television shows, including The Virginian and Playhouse 90 . An important chapter in her life occurred while playing Saint Clare in the movie Francis of Assisi , which was filmed on location in Italy. Born Dolores Hicks to a complicated and colorful Chicago family, Mother Dolores has travelled a charmed yet challenging road in her journey toward God, serenity and, yes, love. She entered the Abbey of Regina Laudis in Bethlehem, Connecticut, at the peak of her career, not in order to leave the glamorous world of acting she had dreamed of since childhood, but in order to answer a mysterious call she heard with the "ear of the heart". While contracted for another film and engaged to be married, she abandoned everything to become a bride of Christ., "Listen and attend with the ear of your heart." - Saint Benedict.

We must listen to our hearts.
The book is about a young actress who is very successful in her Hollywood days in the 1960's but feels that she needs to be somewhere else with her life and endeavors. Eventually she leaves acting and Hollywood for an enclosed cloistered Monastery life and stays there for 50 years, becoming a Mother Prioress. It was well written by Mother Dolores Hart with the aid of a professional writer and takes on the journey that was her interesting and unusual life.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

SURPRISING AND COMPELLING BIO!
I was really surprised and fascinated by Miss Hart´s recollections of her family and upbringing. Nothing could be father removed from her later life as a nun. I also enjoyed how her story unfolds in this book. It is very original to have her biographer tell the story while she writes her own comments after each paragraph. It gives you quite an insight into the life of a beautiful young actress who walked out of Hollywood glamour in order to follow the Lord. I sincerely recommend this book to all the young people of today who have grown brainwashed by celebrity obsession.

moving and clever
Fascinating and never stuffy. Not as compelling, in my opinion for a non-Catholic/agnostic, but much funnier and fast moving than I expected!Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
