3. Ellen Burstyn
Talented actress Ellen Burstyn was raised Catholic but converted to Islam in her thirties after leading a troubled life. She lived through an abusive childhood, three failed marriages and many career struggles before getting in touch with her spiritual side and meeting her mentor, a Sufi teacher. The religion is a dimension of Islam and she credits it for helping her get her life back on track, focus on her career and bring dimension to her Academy Award-winning roles.
