Whoopi Goldberg

Whoopi Goldberg’s done so much in her career that calling her an overachiever is like saying Bill Clinton is merely a politician. She’s got an Oscar, a Grammy, and two Golden Globe awards. She’s got a Nobel Prize. OK, Goldberg doesn’t really have a Nobel Prize, although some would say...

Whoopi Goldberg’s done so much in her career that calling her an overachiever is like saying Bill Clinton is merely a politician. She’s got an Oscar, a Grammy, and two Golden Globe awards. She’s got a Nobel Prize. OK, Goldberg doesn’t really have a Nobel Prize, although some would say she deserves one for her work on behalf of the homeless. She’s been a psychic in Ghost, a singing nun in Sister Act, even an interstellar bartender on Star Trek: The Next Generation. She’s had her own late-night talk show, two sitcoms, done Broadway, and hosted the Academy Awards more times than most can count.
