Catatan

• Catatan 1: Banyak yang mengindikasikan ia lahir tahun 1949. Namun itu hanya isu mengingat perjalanan panjang karirnya, 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.
• Catatan 2: 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.
