Thirty-two years after the first Sister Acta third part is in preparation. If Whoopi Goldberg has been talking about it for more than five years and the scenario seems to have been completed since 2022, a recent event disrupts the plans: the death of Maggie Smith in September, who played the Mother Superior.
The one who played Deloris, a cabaret singer who hides in a convent after witnessing a murder, had in fact developed friendships during filming with the British actress, winner of two Oscars. And it was with a heavy heart that she declared on the set of Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon Wednesday having to adapt the scenario accordingly.
“We had to make some adjustments because we just lost Maggie Smith, as you know,” she said. However, she assures: “we will get there. We will get there. It’s just… it’s a change.”
“Not without you”
It's on a talk show in the UK, Loose Womenthat the 68-year-old actress had teased the participation of Maggie Smith in this long-awaited sequel.
“If you need me to come here and shoot and do whatever there is to do… We’ll do whatever you want,” she added. “But we don’t want to do it without you, Maggie. » The actress had probably said yes.
Whoopi Goldberg paid him a moving tribute on Instagram shortly after his death. “Maggie Smith was a great woman and a brilliant actress. I still can't believe I had the chance to work with someone who is “one of a kind”. I offer my sincere condolences to the family… RIP,” she wrote.
