- TriviaAlthough this is not mentioned in this documentary, Hart is still a voting member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (the body that awards the Oscars). She often watches her Academy screeners with her fellow nuns. In 2015 she appeared on CNN's Michael Smerconish show to discuss her picks for that year's Oscars. She said that she had a hard time choosing between The Grand Budapest Hotel and Boyhood for Best Picture, but ultimately voted for The Grand Budapest Hotel.
- Quotes
Dolores Hart: I often wonder why the Lord gave me such opportunity to audition for Elvis. There were so many of us in line that day and I just can't believe I got the part.

Featured review
God is the Bigger Elvis is a wonderful short documentary of former actress Dolores Hart's life in the convent
After Mom mentioned wondering about Dolores Hart after she left the movies for the convent, I mentioned this short doc of hers was on YouTube. So we both watched it right away and we were both fascinated by her journey from Hollywood to the abbey in which she now resides. The most fascinating part is when we get to her former fiancee Don Robinson and his eventually never marrying because of his eternal love for Ms. Hart. I think that's all I'll say about that so on that note, Mom and me both highly recommend God is the Bigger Elvis.
