She is currently the moderator of "The View," and a best-selling author of numerous books for children and adults, including her latest releases, Is It Just Me? and Sugar Plum Ballerinas: Terrible Terrel. There is simply no one like WHOOPI and her unique voice is unparalleled in the world of entertainment.  Whoopi won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for her performance in "Ghost."
