Whoopi Goldberg

Moms Mabley was a groundbreaking female comedian whose contributions and achievements went largely unnoticed until Whoopi Goldberg’s documentary was finally made. Goldberg fought for years to find the funds for “I Got Somethin’ To Tell You” and she turned to Kickstarter for the $73,764 it took to make the film. The documentary debuted at the TriBeCa Film Festival and was later picked up by HBO for distribution.
