About Whoopi Goldberg
Whoopi Goldberg (born Caryn Elaine Johnson, 1955) is an American actress, comedian, author, and television host who rose from a difficult childhood in New York City's Chelsea projects to become one of the few entertainers to achieve EGOT status (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Tony). She overcame poverty, early drug addiction, and dyslexia to build an extraordinary career spanning decades. She is best known as a co-host of ABC's 'The View' and for her Oscar-winning role in 'Ghost' (1990).
Goldberg champions radical self-acceptance, resilience, and the courage to speak one's truth regardless of social pressure. She believes authenticity and humor are essential tools for surviving hardship and creating meaningful change.
"Normal is nothing more than a cycle on a washing machine."
"I am where I am because I believe in all possibilities."
