One of the very few extraordinary artists honored with Oscar, Tony, Grammy, Golden Globe, and Emmy Awards, Whoopi Goldberg's comic wit surpasses even her stunning list of accolades. Her wise and witty repartee is a daily treat on ABC’s “The View,” and her many stints as host of the Academy Awards are the stuff of comic legend.Whoopi Goldberg's talent as an actress spans the breadth of Broadway hits including A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO THE FORUM and XANADU; featured television roles on “Star Trek: The Next Generation,” “The Cleaner,” and “Hollywood Squares;” and unforgettable film performances in the comedies “Sister Act” and “Soapdish,” and stirring dramas “The Color Purple” and “Ghost” (for which she won the Academy Award/Oscar for).
Her career began with work in theater and improvisation, eventually leading to The Spook Show, her hit Broadway show and HBO special that helped launch her career and established her voice as a tremendously talented character comedian with a wry sense of humor and a distinctive point of view.
Whoopi Goldberg’s inimitable style and outstanding body of work have since become part of the tapestry of great American artists and entertainers who both inspire and delight.
Whoopi Goldberg will be at the Seminole Hard Rock Live in Hollywood, Florida on Friday January 13, 2012.
