MAKING WHOOPI – The unbelievable true and moving triumph of the human spirit story of how Caryn Elaine Johnson’s powerful relationship with her mother helped her survive the welfare system in 1950’s Manhattan, drug addiction, and a self inflicted abortion to reinvent herself into a world- reknowned Academy Award winning actress.

Aka: Whoopi Goldberg. ?So that’s the name to use in the logline as well as the title.
Good title, but, Ms. Goldberg controls all the rights to her life story, so I don’t see the point of taking the time to polish this logline unless you’ve got a contract to script a story on her life.

Yes, the syndicate is made up of many so who is the principal antagonist? It doesn’t matter.

Just as in “Chinatown”. ?Gittes initially thinks he’s going up against unidentified “bad guys” — a corporate cabal — ?who are out to control the water supply. ?Not until the last Act comes the Big Reveal, that’s he up against just?one bad guy.

After a detective uncovers a syndicate using clones as assassins, she is framed for murder and must find her clone to prove her innocence.
