The View’s Whoopi Goldberg Reveals Details of Her Will Live On Air
Whoopi Goldberg shared on The View that she included a section about her possible biopics in her will.
During Tuesday’s episode of The View, the ladies spoke about Netflix’s Marilyn Monroe biopic, Blonde. The movie was played by actress, Ana De Armas, and the hosts mostly agreed that it was a “lousy movie.” While debating Sunny Hostin, brought up the fact that since Whoopi is such a famous person, when she dies, studios would also make biopics about her.
Sunny, 54, shared, “It sounds macabre but I was speaking to Whoopi, and I was saying that she’s such a famous person that when she passes away, people are going to make films.”
Whoopi interrupted Sunny before she could finish and revealed that it wouldn’t be able to happen without her family’s approval. “Actually, they’re not. They’re not going to make films because in my will it says, ‘Unless you speak to my family, try it!’ Sunny responded, “That is what has to be done.”
Viewers on Twitter agreed with the show’s moderator with one person tweeting, “Lmao Whoopi said f**k around and find out when it comes to making a biopic about her life without her or her family’s consent. IKTR.”
As for Goldberg’s family, she has one daughter, Alex Martin, who she shares with her first husband, Alvin Martin. The host’s family is big since Alex is married to husband Bernard Dean and they have children, Amarah Dean, Jerzey Dean, and Mason Dean. Whoopi also has a great-grandchild, Charli Rose, Amarah’s daughter.
Alyssa Farah Griffin said Marilyn Monroe’s biopic was honestly one of the worst movies and took shots at the movie’s director Andrew Dominik for not putting any trigger warnings in the movie.
Alyssa began “I turned it off. There’s rape scenes that it goes into without warning you that this is going to come up. She had a tragic life, but also an incredibly accomplished life, and it felt like they just dwelled on the negative.”
In an interview with the Hollywood Reporter, Dominik said he found it strange that people were “upset” by his depiction of Marylin Monroe “because she’s dead. The movie doesn’t make any difference in one way or another.”
Andrew also said, “It’s trying to take the iconography of her life and put it into service of something else, it’s trying to take things that you’re familiar with, and turning the meaning inside out. But that’s what they don’t want to see.”
