Speaking of her death wish, Whoopi Goldberg has banned any unauthorized biopics about her life after she dies.
During a discussion about the controversial Marilyn Monroe movie Blonde on “The View” Tuesday, Sunny Hostin mentioned that people would be eager to make a biographical film about Goldberg.
“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,” the co-host said.
In response, Goldberg revealed she has a clause in her will that prevents unsanctioned biopics from being made about her.
“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.’ Try it,” the 67-year-old stated.

The approval will be coming from her families such as her daughter, Alexandrea Martin, who followed in her mother’s footsteps and became an actor and producer. Goldberg also has three grandchildren and one great-grandchild.
More details of this story from Daily Wire:
The overall opinion on the show was that the movie — starring Ana De Armas as the iconic late Hollywood screen legend — was that the film was bad and unwatchable, mentioning that there were rape scenes with no “trigger warnings.”
De Armas previously spoke about the things she did in the movie and said she did it for Monroe, as previously reported.
The “Knives Out” star talked about her portrayal of the screen legend’s short life, including depictions of sexual violence and degradation in the NC-17 film.
“I did things in this movie I would have never done for anyone else, ever,” Ana explained. “I did it for her [Marilyn], and I did it for Andrew [Dominik].”
“We’re telling her story,” she added. “From her point of view. I’m making people feel what she felt. When we had to shoot these kinds of scenes, like the one with [President John F.] Kennedy, it was difficult for everybody. But at the same time, I knew I had to go there to find the truth.”
The scene mentioned included Kennedy, played by Caspar Phillipson, forcing her character to perform oral sex on him.
Despite not wanting one for her own life, Goldberg recently produced and starred in an autobiographical movie about Emmett Till. The 14-year-old Black boy was brutally lynched in 1955 while visiting his cousins in Drew, Mississippi.
