Opinion seems to be divided on whether Mother Teresa was a saint but she was certainly an icon.

So far there have been two biopics on her: Mother Teresa: In The Name Of God's Poor (1997) starred Geraldine Chaplin and ended with the Novell prize ceremony; Teresa with Olivia Hussey is currently filming and will go up to the end of her life.

Kevin Haney is responsible for Olivia Hussey's transformation. Anne Hieronymus was credited as makeup artist on the earlier film.
