based on Skloot's book,[22] and in 2016 filming commenced.[64][65] with Winfrey in the leading role of Deborah Lacks, Henrietta's daughter.[66][67] The film The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks was released in 2017, with Renée Elise Goldsberry portraying Lacks.

NBC's Law & Order aired its own fictionalized version of Lacks's story in the 2010 episode "Immortal," which Slate referred to as "shockingly close to the true story"[68] and the musical groups Jello Biafra and the Guantanamo School of Medicine and Yeasayer both released songs about Henrietta Lacks and her legacy.'
