    Passed away last month, two most famous actresses to come out of BJU's drama department: Katherine Helmond & Beneth Peters Jones. Both were octogenarians.

    According to Wiki, Helmond only attended BJU for one semester and was raised Roman Catholic.
    In addition, She and her second husband had a history as students of Zen.[6][7]
