    Moms Mabley was an icon and the career that launched many others. She loved all people and Thanks to Whoopee Goldberg a new generation will get to know this pioneer woman who broke all grounds. God bless her for everything she did especially her humor!

    Whoopi Goldberg presents Moms Mabley is simple but perfect--one of those documentaries that's about what it seems to be about, but is also about something else.

    Goldberg whets the appetite for what Mabley can do, but it’s Mabley, not Goldberg-as-director, who delivers.
