This insightful biography of Whoopi Goldberg traces the remarkable life and times of the internationally famous African-American actress, comedian, television personality, and author. This detailed volume goes behind the scenes to document Goldberg's humble beginnings in New York City to her later show business success. This success includes her winning of multiple industry awards, including an Oscar nomination for her touching performance in The Color Purple (1985) and an Academy Award for her vibrant role in Ghost (1990). In shedding light on the star's event-filled personal life (including her several marriages) it is easier to appreciate the myriad factors which made this outspoken, one-of-a-kind celebrity the unique personality she has become. This is the astonishing story of the talented actress who twice hosted the Oscarcasts, won a Tony Award for her on-Broadway one-woman show, and played a recurring role on Star Trek: The Next Generation, which she reprised in two Star Trek feature films. This is a revealing and informed account of the iconic Whoopi Goldberg who once observed of her becoming a major celebrity: \"I haven't changed from being me. A little older, a little quieter. But I haven't shut up.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 442\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.98 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 12, 2017\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47651938959613,"sku":"9781546782933","price":32.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/3414\/0157\/files\/SUFvTlVFV2dPNElpWXdBOUY5MWp3Zz09.webp?v=1780807511","url":"https:\/\/booktolia.com\/products\/whoopi-goldberg-her-journey-from-poverty-to-megastardom-paperback","provider":"booktolia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
