Jane Goodall’s Last Words

On Oct. 4, 2025, Netflix launched the posthumous series Famous Last Words, premiering the first episode featuring Jane Goodall, primatologist and environmental activist.
Recorded in March under strict confidentiality, producer Brad Falchuk kept Jane Goodall's final interview secure and unedited until release; she died in California from natural causes at 91.
In the episode, Goodall urges hope and daily action, while a headline-making passage lists world leaders she wished off the planet.
Tributes poured in last week from Leonardo DiCaprio and Billie Eilish, while the Jane Goodall Institute posted that she died peacefully in her sleep.
Her pioneering research established Jane Goodall's global legacy, reshaping chimpanzee understanding and advancing female representation through the Jane Goodall Institute and her role as United Nations Messenger of Peace.
