Amy Winehouse's parents will "never" allow a biopic of her life to be made..
Mitch and Janice Winehouse - who are separated - would not be comfortable to see their late daughter's life story told on the big screen and would not sanction a film. Janice insists she wouldn't feel comfortable seeing a Hollywood actress portray Amy - who tragically died from alcohol intoxication at her home in Camden, north London, in July 2011 at the age of 27 - but she and Mitch were happy to be involved in the upcoming documentary made by Senna director Asif Kapadia.
When asked if she would allow a film about Amy's life to be made, Janice told Bang Showbiz, "No you couldn't, oh no. You cannot have somebody else portraying her. We were actually called in and we were talking about things so there will be voices from family and friends talking about her [in the documentary] but you can't have someone playing Amy the character. There is only one Amy."

Charlize Theron Considered Quitting Film

The 36-year-old actress adopted her son Jackson, now six months, in March and is pleased she decided against pulling out of the film because she now thinks becoming a parent to the little boy has made her a more creative person.
"When I first heard my son was coming into my life, I didn't want to make the film. But having him has changed me and made me a lot more creative as a person. I love being a mum so much. There's nothing better than rolling around with the baby in my PJs," she said.
Charlize recently admitted she never expected to be a single parent but always wanted to adopt: "You know, I don't think any mother aims to be a single mom. I didn't wish for that, but it happened. I always knew I would adopt. Always."
