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—1994
Wickes reprised her role as Sister Mary Lazarus in Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit (1993). She also went on to appear as cranky Aunt March in 1994’s Little Women and voiced a gargoyle in The Hunchback of Notre Dame in 1996 (released posthumously). Wickes, who died at the age of 85 in 1995, left behind a legacy of Hollywood wisecracking, wit, and sass.
