Each time the corpse was reportedly "incorrupt" -- that is, remarkably well preserved. Eventually a thin layer of wax was placed over her features, and her body is now kept in a special shrine in Nevers... The saint's story was told in the 1942 book Song of Bernadette by Franz Werfel; a 1943 movie based on the book was nominated for 12 Academy Awards, and actress Jennifer Jones won the Best Actress Oscar for her portrayal of Bernadette... It's true: pop singer <a href="http://www.answers.com/topic/madonna-singer-actor" target="_blank">Madonna</a> named her first child Lourdes."</blockquote>
