Valerie Bertinelli has made a personal request to her son, Wolfgang Van Halen, regarding the creation of a Van Halen biopic. The actress and television personality has asked Wolfgang to postpone any film projects about the band until after she is no longer alive.
Bertinelli, who was married to the late guitar legend Eddie Van Halen, has been candid about her life and experiences within the Van Halen family. Her request stems from a desire to maintain control over her personal narrative and protect the privacy of her loved ones. She believes a more accurate and respectful portrayal of her life can be achieved when she is not around to influence the creative process.
In interviews, Bertinelli has also playfully suggested potential actresses to portray her in a hypothetical film. While no concrete plans for a Van Halen biopic have been announced, the topic remains a point of discussion among fans and industry insiders. Wolfgang Van Halen, a musician in his own right, has yet to publicly comment on his mother's request.
