Whoopi Goldberg Was Born in the Spotlight

Whoopi Goldberg
Emerging from my mother. At my birth, I looked up, saw the lights in the operating room and said, "This is for me."

I see “Jim” still can’t resist turning everything into an off-topic political rant. WTF

What can I say? I’m a masochist.

Whoopi, I’m very glad you made that decision to enter the limelight at an early age—very early. The world is blessed to have you as one of our great entertainers. I remember when “Jumping Jack Flash” first hit the big screen. Man, I couldn’t WAIT to see this woman named “Whoopi Goldberg.” I thought you were just one of the coolest people on the planet. I still do. Every now and then, I pull out that movie and pop it in the player (but don’t tell anybody—it’s one of my favorites).

Hey, I still watch my Jumpin’ Jack Flash tape (YES, as in VHS!) every now and then. I think I am one of the few who liked BURGLAR a tad more than JJF. You can’t beat 80s action Whoopi - she was badass. lol

Well said Whoopi. You have great conviction and your calling to the bright lights is our gain!

Whoopi Goldberg, I set my schedule so that I can see you everyday on The View….I feel like I’m talking, giving my opinon. People, tell me I look like you and I know I’m not Shriek, I love those movie’s but my Darling Sister, believe me….YOU ARE NOT SHRIEKLIKE. You are beautiful, special, unique, there is no other like you and there will never be another like you…family members might even sound like you, but you are Uniquely beautiful physically, mentally, spirit and soul. I love you, I appreciate you and there is nothing you can do about it……and there is nothing you can do to change that…don’t change keep it up, being true to who you are. I have plans to do some stand up, my stuff is missing out there. Over 60, black women, don’t believe I need a man, spiritual, mad as hell about the racism in this country, remembers the 60’s, mother, author, MSSW, auditioned for and accepted for HAIR, couldn’t- I had two children and a government job. May the peace and love of Christ rule and reign in your life and your families life, forever. Angel
