Her biggest break came in 1961 with 'Where the Boys Are', in which four college girls get away from the cold and spend spring break in Fort Lauderdale. That same year, Dolores made Francis of Assisi, in which our lady joins up with a monk to found her own order. A bit of foreshadowing, perhaps. She had reached a point where she was beginning to long for more than Hollywood could provide. She told Look magazine, 'Before I was twenty, I learned that being in movies didn't bring me the ultimate joy I expected'. In 1963, after finishing 'Come Fly With Me', Dolores entered a convent, and in 1970, took her final vows to become a nun. Today, she's Mother Dolores at the Convent of Regina Laudis in Bethlehem Connecticut.
