About Whoopi Goldberg
While Whoopi Goldberg is best known for her performance in Sister Act, the 1992 comedy about a lounge singer who hides from her deadbeat boyfriend in a convent and consequently revitalises its choir, she has worked in most creative disciplines.
Goldberg is, in fact, a member of a very select group of individuals who have won the 'grand slam' of the creative world: an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar and a Tony. Goldberg is a member of this group for her work in Beyond Tara (2002), Whoopi, Direct from Broadway (1985), Ghost (1991) and Thoroughly Modern Millie (2002) respectively.
In her major film debut, The Colour Purple, Goldberg was nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award, and has hosted the event four times. She has appeared in over 150 films and TV shows. More recently, she has worked in Radio, with a show entitled Wake Up With Whoopi.
