women of color women of words whoopi goldberg The Spook Show BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION The date of Caryn E. Johnson's birth ranges from November 13, 1949 to November 13, 1955. However, what most sources agree on is that she was raised with her brother Clyde by her mother in a housing project in the Chelsea section of Manhattan. She began acting at the age of 8 in children's plays with the Hudson Guild Theatre. By the late 1960s she had dropped out of the NY School for the Performing Arts to become a hippy. After leaving school she performed in the chorus of various musicals. She also married, had a daughter, and developed a heroin habit. In the 1970s she divorced, kicked her heroin habit, and left the East Coast for California. In San Diego, she became one of the founding members of the San Diego Repertory Theatre. She also worked with an improv theatre group called Spontaneous Combustion. It was during this time that Johnson changed her name to Whoopi Goldberg. By the late 1970s she had moved to Berkeley and begun performing with the Blake Street Hawkeyes Theater, a comedic avant garde troupe.

The piece toured Europe and the United States and was first performed in New York City as part of the New York Dance Theatre Workshop in 1983 where it and Goldberg came to the attention of veteran stage and screen director Mike Nichols. Nichols approached Goldberg about doing a one woman show on Broadway. Instead she returned to Berkeley to start in

But Wentz wants everyone to know it's not real, either. "I took part in an indie film [called 'Goodnight Moon'] about a year ago as a favor to my friend," says the rocker on his blog. He attributes the steamy footage to a scene from the upcoming film. "I'm not into being an actor or having a sex tape, either, so hopefully you can deal with it," he wrote.

RSS Whoopi Goldberg's Crass Bush Joke Friday July 23, 2004 Comedian Whoopi Goldberg was widely criticized after performing a comedy routine at a Kerry-Edwards fundraiser in which she made a crass sexual joke about President Bush. Here's what she said: "That's why I'm here tonight. Because I love bush. But someone's giving bush a bad name. Someone has tarnished name of `bush.' Someone has waged war, someone has deliberately misled the country, someone has attempted to amend the constitution, all in the name of bush. The bush I know and cherish would never do such things. My bush is smarter than that. And if my bush is smarter than that, you can understand just how dumb I think that other bush is. And anyone who would wave to Stevie Wonder is not fully there. I will do whatever it takes to restore bush to its rightful place and that ain't in the White House. Vote your heart and mind and keep bush where it belongs."

Autos Whoopi Goldberg Joins ‘The View’ Sign In to E-Mail or Save This Print Reprints By JACQUES STEINBERG Published: August 2, 2007 Rosie O’Donnell ’s name wasn’t mentioned on “The View” Wednesday morning. But a few moments after Barbara Walters introduced Whoopi Goldberg to a live television audience as the show’s new moderator, replacing Ms. O’Donnell, Ms. Goldberg left no doubt that a new era was dawning. With Ms. Walters sitting close at her side during a post-show interview backstage, Ms. Goldberg pledged to avoid stoking the drawn-out feuds — whether with the likes of Donald Trump , or Elisabeth Hasselbeck, a fellow panelist — that fueled Ms. O’Donnell’s on-camera persona like cans of gasoline. And while she expects that she and her new colleagues will sometimes disagree — about whom to support for president next year or the wisdom of the Iraq war, which Ms. Goldberg has vehemently opposed — she offered assurance that those arguments would never become personal, and that there was no place for grudges. “We can have those discussions, and do it in a way people can talk,” Ms. Goldberg said, still clad in the untucked peach dress shirt and customized Converse-style sneakers she’d worn on that day’s show. “Sometimes you get excited, but you move on. You move it forward. You go on to the next thing. You don’t harbor any ill will. If you do, you deal with it — afterward.”
