Whoopi Goldberg Doesn’t Want Unauthorized Biopics
Whoopi Goldberg does not want filmmakers to share her story without her permission. The Ghost star shared her opinion while discussing Andrew Dominik’s controversial Marilyn Monroe film Blonde. While discussing the film, The View co-host Sunny Hostin mentioned that many filmmakers are eyeing to make a biopic on The Associate star.
“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,” Sunny Hostin said.

Goldberg replied to her saying, “Actually, they’re not. They’re not going to make films.” She disclosed a clause from her will that says that no one would be able to make a biopic on her unless they get her family’s permission. “Because in my will it says, ‘Unless you speak to my family, try it.’ Try it,” the EGOT winner said.
The actress revealed the clause from her will after the release of Blonde. The film stars Ana de Armas as Marilyn Monroe and tells the story of her rise and demise in Hollywood. However, it has been highly criticized for masquerading as a biopic.
