I saw her showing her taint in that Fritz Lang movie.

Did she ever get to say, "Moses, MOSES!?"

Was she the one that entered a convent to become a nun?

Elvis slept with all of his female co-stars except Mary Tyler Moore. I always thought Debra Paget looked a lot like Priscilla.

R5 You're close. She became a born again Christian in later years and hosted a religious TV show.

Elvis proposed marriage to her while they were working on a film together but she turned him down because she was going with Howard Hughes at the time.

Apparently her mother was hugely fat and her contract with 20th specified she had to maintain a certain (svelte) weight.

She married a Chinese businessman from Hong Kong and stopped making movies. I think that she had a kid or two and settled in Texas.

Yes, R11, but they are divorced now. He was the nephew of Madame Chiang Kai-Shek.

Well I hope Deb is enjoying life, but I always found her to be unspeakably dull.

I always get her confused with Deborah Walley

I wonder if she got to bang Joshua?

No, that's Dolores Hart.

I read not long ago that she is one of the Oscar voters as she is a member of the Academy.

She did 2 films with Elvis - "Loving You" (1957) and "King Creole" (1958).

She is probably best known for "Where The Boys Are".

She had 2 great quotes about Elvis:

[quote] (When asked how she could go from kissing Elvis to becoming a nun): How much closer to Heaven can you get?

[quote] [when asked what it was like to kiss Elvis Presley onscreen in Loving You] I think the limit for a screen kiss back then was something like 15 seconds. That one has lasted 40 years.

As of 2004 (per imdb.com) As the Rev. Mother Dolores Hart of the Benedictine order, she is prioress of the Roman Catholic abbey of Regina Laudis, in Bethlehem, Connecticut, USA.
