I"ll name a few Audrey Hepburn ( The Nun"s Story), Jennifer Jones ( The song of Bernadette- over the course of the story the title character becomes a member of the Sisters of Charity), Rosalind Russell played a worldly-wise Mother Superior type in the semi-comedy The Trouble With Angels. Incidentally the actresses Jane Wyman and Delores Hart became nuns in later life- and Ms. Wyman was buried in the religious habit of the Dominicans. Ms. Hart is still alive. How is that for your cinematic convent?
Nuns are typically associated with the Catholic denomination of Christianity, as well as some branches of the Eastern Orthodox Church. However, nuns also exist in other religions such as Buddhism and Jainism.
Catholics, Lutherans, Anglicans, Orthodox Christians, Taoists, Jains, Hindus, and Buddhists are some of the religious denominations that have nuns. Each religion varies as to the amount of contact that is permitted with the outside world. Catholic sisters are allowed more freedom than a traditional nun.
