The Ear Of The Heart: An Actress' Journey From Hollywood To Holy Vows

Dolores Hart stunned Hollywood in 1963 when, after ten successful feature films, she chose to enter a contemplative monastery. Now, fifty years later, Mother Dolores shares her life story with co-author Richard DeNeut. She debuted in 1957 alongside Elvis Presley in Loving You, and went on to act with stars like Montgomery Clift, Anthony Quinn, and Myrna Loy. She also performed on Broadway and appeared on television, notably in The Virginian. A pivotal moment was her role as Saint Clare in Francis of Assisi, filmed in Italy. Born Dolores Hicks in Chicago, she traveled a challenging yet inspiring path to her spiritual calling, entering the Regina Laudis Abbey in Connecticut at the height of her career, listening to the 'ear of the heart,' choosing faith over fame and love.
