I attended a fund raiser at the Beverly
Wilshire Hotel, and Mother Dolores Hart was there. She was the
guest of honor. I hadn't seen Dolores since 1960, and of course
we've aged a bit. A BIT?
I walked over to her and gave her a kiss in the
cheek, and she seemed delighted to see me again after all these
years. I said to her (as a joke): "I'm starting a new film, and
we're looking for a leading lady. Are you available?" We both
laughed and had a nice conversation. Particularly after the
cameras stopped rolling.

May 14, 2006 Some scenes from this benefit were shown on the CBS Morning News, Sunday, May 14. David was shown talking to Mother Hart for about 30 seconds. CBS correspondent Rita Braver did the profile: "Higher Calling" on Mother Dolores Hart's homecoming and her work for the Neuropathy Association. Hart is now a Benedictine nun at the Abbey of Regina Laudis. The Neuropathy Association website: www.neuropathy.com |
