Hey there, friends! Let’s talk about the legendary Whoopi Goldberg. You know her, right? She's a mainstay on The View, delivering her sharp wit and insightful commentary to millions of viewers every day. But guess what? Whoopi recently revealed that her time on the show isn’t enough to quench her creative thirst. That’s right—she’s ready to spread her wings and try new things.
Whoopi Talks About Her Creative Urge
At 63 years old, Whoopi sat down with The New York Times and spilled the tea. When asked if The View is enough for her, her answer was crystal clear: “It’s not.” Whoopi admitted that after a decade on the show, she’s ready to dive into other projects. She’s got her hands in a lot of pots these days—writing books, exploring the world of THC products, and even designing clothes. Talk about a renaissance woman!
Now, here’s the thing. While her time on The View might not be as glamorous as starring in a blockbuster film, Whoopi sees it as a performance of sorts. She explained, “In a way, I am playing a role. These aren’t the conversations I have with my friends. If they were, we’d be doing it differently. My friends and I can talk about things in depth in a different way than you can on television.” Makes sense, right? Television has its own rules and structure.

Whoopi's Career Journey
Here’s something to think about: you can’t force a career. Whoopi knows this all too well. “You can’t create a career,” she said. “It goes where it goes.” And let’s be real, her career has gone places most of us can only dream of. Whoopi joined The View in 2007, but by that point, she was already a Hollywood heavyweight. Remember her iconic roles in Sister Act, Ghost, The Color Purple, and her unforgettable voice as Rafiki in The Lion King? This woman has done it all!
Whoopi's Personal Life
Of course, Whoopi isn’t just a star on the screen. She’s also a mother. Her only child, daughter Alex, was born in 1973 during her marriage to Alvin Martin. Over the years, Whoopi has been married three times, with her last marriage to actor Lyle Trachtenberg in 1994-1995. But here’s the kicker—Whoopi is done with the whole marriage thing. She recently shared, “People expect you to have a boyfriend. They expect you to get married. So I kept trying to do that, but I didn’t want to share information with somebody else. I didn’t want anybody asking me why I was doing what I was doing, or to have to make the other person feel better.”
