Biography

Whoopi (Johnson) Goldberg is Notable.

Whoopi Goldberg is an American actor, author, comedian, and television talk show host. She is one of sixteen entertainers to win an EGOT - an Emmy Award, a Grammy Award, an Academy Award, and a Tony Award. Some of her notable performances include Sister Act (1 & 2), Star Trek: The Next Generation, Ghost, The Lion King, and The View.

Caryn Elaine Johnson was born on November 13, 1955 in Manhattan, New York City to Robert Johnson, a Baptist minister and Emma (Harris) Johnson, a teacher. Emma raised Whoopi and her brother Clyde alone.

Whoopi has explained that her stage name was taken from a whoopee cushion, referring to the gassiness she would have right before performances, and letting it out "like a whoopee cushion."

When trying to find something to prove the Triplett line of my family descends from Frances Marion Triplett, I see that Whoopi descends from him. This makes me want to work harder to find documentation of this family link. To be a distance cousin of one of my favorite comedians would make my day.

Hello Profile Managers!

We are featuring this profile in the Connection Finder this week. Between now and Wednesday is a good time to take a look at the sources and biography to see if there are updates and improvements that need made, especially those that will bring it up to WikiTree Style Guide standards. We know it's short notice, so don't fret too much. Just do what you can.

Thanks!

Abby
