One of my favorite anecdotes involving her being an Academy member is back in 2009 when all her fellow nuns thought The Hurt Locker deserved Best Picture but was upset with her when she voted for Avatar instead.

Did they ever go through with that? She did attend the Oscars in 2013 when her documentary was nominated. There are several YouTube videos of her on the red carpet and after the awards praising that year's best picture winner, although she referred to it as "Ten Years a Slave" in a Bidenesque gaffe.Mister Tee wrote:I was pretty sure Mother Dolores lost her membership when they culled the rolls a few years ago.
Dolores Hart is a living legend who earned her Academy membership. The niece of Mario Lanza, she made her film debut as a child extra in 1947 in Forever Amber, became famous overnight as the first actress to kiss Elvis Presley on screen in Loving You ten years later. She starred in several box office hits including Where the Boys Are and Francis of Assisi, although her personal favorite was Lisa in which she played a tough WWII Jewish concentration camp survivor, the role that gave her the determination to become a nun, not her Saint Claire in Francis of Assisi as is commonly believed.OscarGuy wrote:I wouldn't doubt it. There's a supposed list of all Academy members, but I cannot seem to find it. Dolores Hart had 11 movie credits and then became a nun and she was a member. I wonder if Roger Ebert had been an Academy member or not. I know he had three writing credits.
Chuck Woolery is a vile, contemptible Trump supporter who tweets garbage all day long. Lying or confused would be my guess.anonymous1980 wrote:How can someone with that scant and very insignificant film career be a member of the Academy? I don't know whether he's lying, confused (votes for the Emmys and the SAG's and thinks that makes him an Oscar voter) or they had very low standards of membership during the '70s.
Perhaps an older person in the board can shed some light on this?
