Sister Wendy, hermit, RIP

The New York Times (as well as every other major media source) recently announced that: “Sister Wendy Beckett, Nun Who Became a BBC Star, Dies at 88.” Sister Wendy became a television celebrity with her art history television productions in the 1990s, an unlikely presenter because she was a Catholic nun. What few knew was that she was also a hermit when not before the camera, living in a windowless trailer on the grounds of a Carmelite convent in England.
