Over 30 years after Whoopi Goldberg guest starred in a landmark AIDS story line of ‘A Different World,’ Debbie Allen recalled how she recruited her for the job

During her speech, Josie revealed she was HIV-positive, which led to a landmark discussion about AIDS and all of the questions and misconceptions surrounding the disease. Goldberg was certainly a big gun at the time, as she won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for her role in Ghost just weeks before the episode aired on NBC.
