She had a Catholic upbringing, but when she left home to become an actress, she also left the Church.

In her fear she began to recite the [[Lord's Prayer]] and felt the threat recede.<ref name="conversione"/> According to the [[exorcist]] Father Francesco Bamonte, "[[transcendental meditation]]...and other such New Age practices that stress [[Out-of-body experience|'out of body' experiences]]" can potentially open the door to [[demonic]] attacks.<ref>Quoted in Matt Baglio, ''The Rite'' (London: Pocket Books, 2010), p. 56.
