The Star Wars connection to Sister Act

Whoopi is still loved around the world today for her role as naughty nun Deloris Van Cartier in the hit comedy 'Sister Act', which sees a lounge singer being forced to join a convent when she is placed in a witness protection programme.

In the movie, Deloris rallies round the humdrum nuns and teaches them the value of life through song.

However, Whoopi was so appalled with the original script that she hired 'Star Wars' actress Carrie Fisher to rewrite her lines - leading to a lot of conflict with movie execs.

Carrie is believed to have told Whoopi that she was "getting into a p****** contest with people who have actual d****".
