Whoopi Goldberg discusses her new memoir, 'Bits and Pieces: My Mother, My Brother, and Me,' her political activism and her Broadway aspirations.
It wasn’t until Whoopi Goldberg tried to shut off her late brother’s phone, years after he had died, that she realized how long he’d been gone. “I told the phone company, I’ve been trying to shut this phone off for 11 years. It wasn’t until my assistant then told me, ‘It’s actually been 16 years.’ That’s when I thought, 'Let me get my feet on solid ground,'” says Goldberg when asked why now was the time for her to write about grief.
When asked what her mom would think of America’s current political turmoil, Goldberg tells The Times, “It would make her very sad. It’s not the America she wanted to leave behind. It’s the promise of the country that we’re missing. There seems to be no more promise.” Goldberg, who moved to New Jersey in 2009, commutes to Manhattan four days a week to tape 'The View,' which she's co-hosted since 2007, live in front of a studio audience.
