20 Years of Soul Singing: Snakkle Catches Up with the Stars of Sister Act
Has it really been 20 years since Whoopi Goldberg and friends shook it up as the sisters with soul in Sister Act? The 1992 comedy starred Goldberg as Deloris van Cartier, a Reno (not even Vegas—ouch) lounge singer who is on the run from her mobster boyfriend Vince LaRocca (Harvey Keitel). When Deloris hides out in a convent, hilarity and singing ensue. The film was a huge box office success, eventually grossing over $200 million worldwide. Snakkle catches up with its stars to find out what they are up to today. By Katherine Butler
Harvey Keitel in Sister Act, 1992
Keitel was a theater performer best known for his work in Martin Scorsese films, including Mean Streets (1973) and Taxi Driver (1976). So for the Brooklyn tough guy, taking on the role of tough guy Vince LaRocca in Sister Act was no stretch. Why did he choose the part? As he told a reporter just before Sister Act was released, “Well, I just love the idea of doing a horror film, [or] doing a comedy, which I just did with Whoopi Goldberg.” Keitel’s love clearly meant box office gold.
