Thanks for the interesting back story. I found two things especially surprising.
1. Breakfast with Mother Dolores Hart
It's highly unusual for someone to keep her name when entering the convent to become a nun. It's especially surprising in the case of Dolores Hart because Hart wasn't her given name. I believe it was her Hollywood name.
She seems to have remained a fairly public person and I believe I saw an interview in which she talked about many of her past experiences. Perhaps that was the reason she kept her name; publicity. My mother tells me she sees Mother Dolores on TV often. It may be stock footage but it seems she's still talked about on Catholic news shows. Does anyone know which Order she's in?
2. BoomerMovieFan says > At the breakfast, actress Patricia Neal and Maria Cooper Janis, the daughter of Hollywood leading man Gary Cooper, inter alia, spoke.
This is an odd combination: Patricia Neal and Maria Cooper Janis at the same event. It's unusual because Patricia Neal had an affair with Gary Cooper that lasted many years. When Maria, his only child was quite young, he left his family to be with Ms. Neal. He did return to them years later but I can't imagine his daughter and Ms. Neal being on friendly terms. Then again, stranger things have happened.
