Whoopi Goldberg - ©Theda Bara

The name I bring in this post is that of the extremely talented Whoopi Goldberg, actress, comedian, singer, voice actress, activist and American presenter, winner of the four main awards of the entertainment industry in the United States: Emmy, Grammy, Tony and Oscar.

Goldberg won 1 Grammy Award: Best Comedy Album 1986, “Original Recording of the Broadway Show”; 1 Tony Award: Best Musical 2002, “Completely Modern Millie”; 2 Golden Globes: Best Actress in a Dramatic Film 1986, “The Color Púrpura” and for: Best Supporting Actress in a Film 1991, “Ghost”; 2 Emmy Awards: Best Talk Show Host 2009, “The View” and Special Program 2002, “Beyond Tara: The Extraordinary Life of Hattie McDaniel” and 1 Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress 1991, for “Ghost” (1990). 

Whoopi Goldberg gave life to an iconic movie character, the singer (dressed as a charity sister) “Deloris Van Cartier” in the highly successful franchise: “Sister Act” I (1992); II (1993) and III, still in filming and scheduled for release in (2024), by Disney studios.

Goldberg has her stars on the Los Angeles Walk of Fame, on Hollywood Boulevard: at 6801, Cinema category.

The actress was born on November 13, 1955, Chelsea, New York, United States, today she is 67 years old.

Whoopi Goldberg has been married three times. The first time was with the English drug counselor Alvin Martins (1958-), from 1973 to 1979, with whom she had her only daughter, the award-winning American actress Alexandrea Martin (1974-); her second marriage was to Dutch cinematographer David Claessen (1959-), from 1986 to 1988; Goldberg's last husband before she decided never to marry again, was a considered mediocre Hollywood actor, Lyle Trachtenberg (1956-), from 1994 to 1995.
