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
Mary Wickes in Sister Act, 1992
As salty musical director Sister Mary Lazarus, Mary Wickes showed why she had built a career of being an epic scene-stealer. With roles in theater, film, and television dating back to 1935, the actress counted spots on iconic shows like I Love Lucy (1952), Dennis the Menace (1959-1962), and Bonanza (1963-1966) among her roles. Her heavenly role in Sister Act was not the first time Wickes donned a habit. In 1966, she played Sister Clarissa in the comedy The Trouble with Angels.
