‘Sister Act 3’ Needed ‘Readjustments’ After Maggie Smith’s Death, Says Whoopi Goldberg

Whoopi Goldberg recently shared on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” that “Sister Act 3” is undergoing changes following the passing of her co-star Maggie Smith. Goldberg expressed the need for “readjustments” in the film’s production, acknowledging the impact of Smith’s death on the project. She reassured fans that the movie would proceed, noting, “We will get it done. It’s a shift.”

Goldberg and Smith starred together in the original “Sister Act” (1992) and its sequel (1993), where Goldberg’s character, Deloris Van Cartier, hides in a convent under witness protection. Smith’s portrayal of the convent’s Mother Superior became iconic, and Goldberg had hoped Smith would reprise her role. Smith, known for her roles in “Harry Potter” and “Downton Abbey,” passed away on September 27 at 89. Goldberg honored Smith on Instagram, calling her “a great woman and a brilliant actress.” Despite the loss, Goldberg is committed to continuing the legacy of “Sister Act” with this upcoming third installment.
