Whoopi Goldberg

Whoopi Goldberg stars in and is a co-producer of Till (2022) written and directed by Chinonye Chukwu. In 1986 she won a Golden Globe as Best Actress in a Drama for her movie debut in The Color Purple directed by Steven Spielberg from the 1982 novel by Alice Walker.

From The Color Purple when she won her first Golden Globe to Ghost for which she won her second, to seeing her daughter as Miss Golden Globe, the versatile actress reminisces about the shows she has attended. And how about that inspired presenter pairing at the end, when Macaulay Culkin and Mickey Rooney called her name?! .

Legendary now seems a fitting term for Whoopi Goldberg, twice a Golden Globe winner for The Color Purple (in 1986) and Ghost (1991 – also an Oscar), the first woman to host the Academy Awards, in 1994, social and political activist since the Comic Relief era and now a TV personality and very vocal both in the #MeToo and Black Lives Matter movements. And she is truly irrepressible wielding the resolve that led her to send an Instagram message to Pope Francis: “Good morning Your Holiness,” she wrote.
