Whoopi Goldberg Then
It’s probably safe to say Whoopi Goldberg was never a sex idol. More than her beauty, she is well-known for her outstanding acting abilities and exuberant demeanor. She has 13 Emmy nominations and has won at least one Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony. She won critical acclaim in 1985 for her role in The Color Purple, a film about an oppressed black woman in the Deep South. Her participation in Ghost in the 1990s, however, sealed her place in the public eye. Sister Act, Hollywood Squares, and The View were among her many hit films and television series.

Whoopi has obviously gained weight since her Ghost days. Many of these occurrences have been attributed in the media to her enjoyment of a good joint, which contributes to the munchies on occasion. Furthermore, it is natural for most of us to gain weight over time. Though Whoopi continues to act on occasion, she now spends most of her time on LGBT activism. Her “Give a Damn” campaign seeks to inspire gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender persons to join forces with heterosexuals to pursue equitable and fair lifestyles. That’s amazing. Thank you for all you do, Whoopi!
