Spotlight: Whoopi Goldberg
This week's #lexicmind on the spotlight is Whoopi Goldberg. Born in 1955, she is an American actress, comedian, and TV personality— a force within the entertainment world!
🏆 Great Achievements:
Whoopi is one of the few people to have an EGOT. ALL four prestigious awards—Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony!
Let's not forget her iconic roles in cinema classics like "The Color Purple," "Ghost," and "Sister Act." Who else could bring those characters to life quite like her?
💡 Dyslexia as a Brilliant Advantage:
“I’m dyslexic, so there weren't a whole lot of books in my early life. But I did love stories.”
Goldberg’s ability to think visually (a dyslexic quality) helped her take her acting skills to the next level.
The unique mind of Whoopi Goldberg, with dyslexia and dyscalculia, has made her a distinctive star.
