A Legendary Woman and Brilliant Actress
Whoopi Goldberg, 68, took to Instagram to honor her late co-star, Maggie Smith, who passed away at the age of 89. The two iconic actresses worked together on the hit comedy film “Sister Act” in 1992.
In her heartfelt tribute, Goldberg described Smith as a great woman and a brilliant actress. She expressed her disbelief and gratitude for having the opportunity to work with such a one-of-a-kind talent. Goldberg extended her condolences to Smith’s family and wrote, “RIP,” as she shared a touching photo of herself and Smith from their time on set.
An Unforgettable Collaboration
In “Sister Act,” Goldberg played the role of Deloris Wilson, a lounge singer placed in witness protection after witnessing a violent crime. She finds herself disguised as Sister Mary Clarence and placed in a convent in San Francisco. Throughout the film, Goldberg’s character and Smith’s Mother Superior clash in a hilarious and heartwarming way.
The success of “Sister Act” led to a sequel in 1993, titled “Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit.” And in an exciting announcement in 2020, Disney revealed that the franchise would continue with a third installment, set to be released on Disney+.
Updates on “Sister Act 3”
Goldberg and her co-stars, including Tanya Trotter, Wendy Makkena, and Kathy Najimy, have kept fans informed about the progress of “Sister Act 3.” In June, Trotter shared that the script for the movie had been completed. Although she was unsure about her own involvement, she expressed her eagerness to be part of any project that includes the legendary Goldberg.
Goldberg has made it clear that she would only reprise her role if Smith also joined the cast. In a heartfelt message during her appearance on the British talk show “Loose Women,” Goldberg addressed Smith directly, stating that she was holding the part of Mother Superior for her. Goldberg emphasized her admiration for Smith, calling her a legend, an icon, and her mentor. She expressed her willingness to do whatever it takes to have Smith on board for the third installment.
A Deep Friendship Beyond the Screen
Goldberg and Smith’s friendship extended far beyond their on-screen collaboration. In her memoir, “Bits and Pieces: My Mother, My Brother, and Me,” Goldberg shared a touching story about Smith’s support during a difficult time. After receiving devastating news about her mother’s death, Goldberg found comfort in Smith’s presence. Smith stayed with her, listening and sharing stories until Goldberg could arrange a flight home from London.
Goldberg described Smith’s kindness and the profound impact it had on her. She expressed her unwavering support for Smith, stating that she would do anything for her. This bond between the two actresses demonstrated the genuine admiration and love they had for each other.
Continuing the Legacy
The loss of Maggie Smith is deeply felt by the entertainment industry and fans worldwide. As Goldberg pays tribute to her beloved co-star, it is clear that their collaboration goes beyond the silver screen. The upcoming “Sister Act 3” will have a significant void without Maggie Smith, but Goldberg’s dedication to honoring Smith’s memory ensures that her legacy lives on.
