Goldberg has also penned many books including the children's book "Alice," the best-selling "Book," "Whoopi's Big Book of Manners" and "Sugar Plum Ballerinas." Her latest book "If Someone Says 'You Complete Me,' RUN!" was released in 2015.

Goldberg has appeared in a variety of television programs and hosted the Academy Awards®. She currently serves as moderator of "The View" on ABC and voices "Magic Mirror" on the Disney Channel animated series "The 7D."
