Update: 'Waltons' actress converts Dallas Catholic church into her home

update: more and better pictures here.

(<-- unfortunately, this is the best picture I could find to accompany this story:)

'This was never intended as a habitat – except by God and Catholics," says Ronnie Claire Edwards of her offbeat residence in Old East Dallas.

"It wasn't the religion I was seeking; it was the architecture," Edwards says. "I'd always wanted to live in a church or a theater because it's a very dramatic space and unusual.

"But, you see, a theater is frightening at night."

That's why Churches have sanctuary candles ... oh right.
