Grieving a Personal Loss
While engaged in the stage adaptation of “Sister Act,” a film that cemented her stardom, on August 29, 2010, Whoopi Goldberg received devastating news.
She learned of the passing of her mother, Emma, who succumbed to a stroke. In response to this profound loss, Whoopi immediately traveled home, pausing her involvement with the London production of “Sister Act” until October 22, 2010. Reflecting on her mother’s death, Whoopi later found solace in acknowledging the rich and fulfilling life her mother had led, despite her own deep sorrow.
