Sister Act fans, we all know what happened to Whoopi Goldberg's character – Sister Mary Clarence AKA Deloris Van Cartier – and thanks to the Dowager's withering put-downs in Downton Abbey, everyone knows Dame Maggie Smith (Mother Superior) is doing just fine... but what about the other nuns?

And particularly, her prodigy, the quiet-but-talented singer Sister Mary Robert?

Starring in the 1992 musical comedy and reprising her role in the 1993 sequel Back in the Habit, actress Wendy Makkena made her mark as the shy nun, who turned out to have an incredible singing voice.

(And no, unfortunately, that wasn't her actual singing voice in the film – she was dubbed by professional singer Andrea Robinson.)

Though she had roles in Air Bud and State of Play after Sister Act, Makkena has found more success in television – starring in the short-lived A League of Their Own TV series, and with recurring roles on Judging Amy, Oliver Beene and NCIS.

The now-58-year-old, has also guest-starred on several shows, including Chuck, House and CSI.

But could she be back for more holy fun on the big screen? Well, Whoopi Goldberg recently revealed her hopes of directing Sister Act 3.

"I think that there will be a Sister Act 3," Goldberg told Yahoo.

"But I don't know that I would be Deloris, which is okay, because it's time for someone to do it.

"But it's such a fun piece that I'm hoping someone will do it. Maybe I'll direct it..."

Speaking to Entertainment Weekly earlier this year, Whoopi also revealed an interest in reviving her character of Deloris, but speculated the production team would "find somebody much younger".

"Yeah, it would be a great blast," Whoopi said. "I would have a good time, because it's a piece I understand and I know.

"But would they call me? Probably not. They'll find somebody much younger to do it. They should call me."
