Your Fave MIGHT Be Catholic: Susan Egan

Known for: Tony Award nominated actress, singer, dancer, & voice actress, she has done a number of beloved roles for stage, film, & television. As of right now, it’s hard to really state what she is best known for; some will say providing the voice of Megara in the Walt Disney animated classic Hercules, while others will say providing the voice of Rose Quartz in the beloved animated television series Steven Universe. Regardless, she got her start working in theater, & she got her big break playing Belle in the original Broadway run of Beauty & the Beast (as seen above in the left middle picture of the picture set). Other stage shows she has played in include Bye Bye Birdie, State Fair, Triumph of Love, Cabaret, Putting It Together, The Unsinkable Molly Brown, & Thoroughly Modern Millie. Besides Meg & Rose Quartz, she has provided other voice work as well, most notably in English dubs of Hayao Miyazaki films such as Porco Rosso & Spirited Away. She also has a career as a singer, having recorded her own songs & albums, & even performing her own live shows.

Why I say MIGHT as opposed to IS: The truth is, Susan is another celebrity who is excellent at keeping her personal life very private. Because of this, very little is known about her, & this includes her religious beliefs. There are only a few clues that suggest a possible Catholic faith. The first is that her last name, Egan, is a very Irish last name, & suggests an Irish background that possibly raised her in the Catholic faith. But, there’s nothing out there confirming or denying this. Her Instagram feed does show a few pictures of herself in a very Catholic looking wedding dress alongside her husband Robert,as well as a few pictures indicating that she does celebrate Christmas such as this one involving Elf on the Shelf hugging a Belle doll. But again, that’s not really enough to prove anything, & some could even argue that her wedding dress looks no different than any other wedding dress. Still, with what has been provided, anything is possible.

If this post is wrong: If this post is wrong & there is a reliable source out there that states that Susan practices a different religion or no religion at all, please politely inform me & I’ll have this post modified.

Your Fave Is Catholic: Monica Potter

Her work in film includes Bulletproof, Con Air, Patch Adams, A Cool, Dry Place, Without Limits, Heaven or Vegas, Along Came A Spider, I’m With Lucy, Saw, & The Last House on the Left.

Evidence of Faith: According to an old Jam.com article about Monica’s career, it states that Monica is Irish Catholic, grew up Catholic, & at one point even considered becoming a nun before ultimately deciding to become an actress, admiring the calmness & order that is the life of a nun.Monica herself goes on to confirm this in an old Maxim article. When the interviewer asked if she said “nun” at one point, she explained everything mentioned before, & also that she has great respect for nuns.
