Did you know that Whoopi Goldberg is the only African American entertainer to win an Emmy Award, Grammy Award, Academy Award and Tony Award?
Goldberg has won an Academy Award – commonly known as an Oscar – two Daytime Emmy Awards, a Grammy Award for Best Comedy Recording and a Tony Award. She is one of only thirteen entertainers to have won all four honors – an EGOT – and one of just ten performers who achieved the honors in the competitive fields.
Known primarily for her iconic acting roles in films such as ‘The Color Purple’ and ‘Ghost’, for which she won her Oscar for Best Supporting Actress in 1990, Goldberg is also a talented singer. Of course, she displayed her musical ability in the 1992 film ‘Sister Act’.
