Whoopi Goldberg has always been her own woman. From her days in standup, through her acclaimed work as an actor, and now into her duties as the moderator and co-host of The View, Whoopi has been outspoken and honest, respectfully taking no prisoners even while drawing people in and making them laugh--or cry. Total honesty, administered civilly and with a healthy dose of audacity, is her hallmark and her way of life.
