In her social media tribute to Smith, Goldberg briefly recalled her time working with the late Harry Potter star. The pair starred together in 1992's Sister Act and the 1993 sequel Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit, in which Goldberg portrayed lounge singer Deloris and Smith played the memorable Mother Superior.

Dame Maggie Smith played the Reverend Mother in Sister Act 1 and 2 and a third film is in development. However, the future of the film is now in doubt following comments by Whoopi Goldberg.

Whoopi Goldberg starred alongside Maggie Smith in the 1992 hit family comedy, “Sister Act,” and the 1993 sequel, “Sister Act 2.”
