Left Handed Celebrities | EGOT Winner Whoopi Goldberg

Guess who's a lefty? Whoopi Goldberg is left handed. Whoopi is a member of our Top Famous Left Handed People list, but I wanted to give her her own page. Whoopi is awesome!  She is one of the few elite EGOT winners of the world. What is an EGOT you ask?  Someone who has won an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and a Tony.  How cool is that?

I absolutely love Whoopi as Celie in The Color Purple.  As Celie, deservingly, she won Best Actress in a Leading Role in 1986.  She owned, embodied and took over that role.  Let's not forget her awesome performances in Ghost and Sister Acts 1 and 2.  And as a fan of the  Lion King, when Shenzi (Whoopi) says, "Do it again" when the hyenas start talking about Mufasa, I crack up every time! 

I am extremely happy to add Whoopi Goldberg to my left handed celebrities list.  Here's a short snippet of Whoopi's Biography per Wikipedia:

"Caryn Elaine Johnson (born November 13, 1955), known professionally as Whoopi Goldberg, is an American actress, comedian, author, and television host. She has been nominated for 13 Emmy Awards and is one of the few entertainers to have won an Emmy Award, a Grammy Award, an Academy Award, and a Tony Award. She was the second black woman to win an Academy Award for acting.

Goldberg's breakthrough role was Celie, a mistreated woman in the Deep South, in the period drama film The Color Purple (1985), for which she was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress and won her first Golden Globe Award. For her role in the romantic fantasy film Ghost (1990) as Oda Mae Brown, an eccentric psychic, Goldberg won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress and a second Golden Globe, her first for Best Supporting Actress.

In 1992, Goldberg starred in the comedy Sister Act, earning a third Golden Globe nomination, her first for Best Actress – Motion Picture Comedy or Musical. She reprised the role in Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit (1993), making her the highest-paid actress at the time. Her other film roles include Made in America (1993), The Lion King (1994), Boys on the Side (1995), Ghosts of Mississippi (1996), How Stella Got Her Groove Back (1998), Girl, Interrupted (1999), For Colored Girls (2010), and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2014).
