Nobody could have embodied this Role of a Belgian Singing,Spunky, Selfless, & Inspirational Nun better than Debbie Reynolds as Sister Ann.There is naturally something Angelic yet Spunky about Debbie Reynolds that shines through, this role was the perfect Showcase for her God Given Talents, a match made in Heaven one
