Why does Barbara have to drop the line "I did a special with him"... in EVERY conversation. No matter who they talk about, she's done a "SPECIAL"

This was very sweet of Whoopie! She considered him a friend and also thanked him too! God bless her!

@Brenda2OOO First of all, clearly you have no idea what a troll is. Second of all, that's a little juvenile; don't you think? Third of all, if she just forgot, don't you think it a little odd how she clearly stated that she didn't thank the director? Odd...

[Brenda2OOO]

@PIRATESOFTHEC3 No, troll. She just forgot. :P

[PIRATESOFTHEC3]

@Brenda2OOO So you're calling Whoopi Goldberg a liar?

[Brenda2OOO]

She actually did thank Ghost director Jerry Zucker in her Oscar acceptance speech, along with her co-stars, Patrick and Demi. It was a great speech.

@swanson6666 She talked about this when he was DIAGNOSED with cancer, not when he died. And at that time everyone was downplaying his sickness. Get over your bitterness.
