Whoopi Goldberg: Uncensored and Unafraid | 273

Whoopi Goldberg has had a life. And then some. Long before she became a Hollywood icon (and the first Black woman to achieve EGOT status), she struggles with substance abuse, trouble at school, and teenage pregnancy. And then she becomes a mom at just 17. But her unique comedy voice captures the attention of legendary writer/director Mike Nichols who sees something special in her. He brings her to Broadway, where she becomes the toast of the town, and the trajectory of her life is completely altered. What follows next for Whoopi is a career that breaks boundaries and records, and even gets her blacklisted in Hollywood.
