=== Catatan ===


* Banyak yang mengindikasikan ia lahir tahun [[1949]]. Namun itu hanya isu mengingat perjalanan panjang kariernya, untuk mendapatkan peran yang lebih baik ia keluar dari SMA-nya. Semua dilakukannya di New York dan Goldberg berkata [[1955]] adalah tahun kelahirannya adalah benar.
* Pada *Book* yang ditulis oleh Whoopi tentang observasinya, Goldberg mengklaim latar belakang keluarganya dari multiras yaitu, Yahudi Russia, [[Seminole]], kulit putih, dan Tionghoa. Namun, dalam dokumenter PBS *African American Lives'', tes DNA menunjukkan Goldberg 92% keturunan Afrika.
