I'm not really into Oprah either but I don't think acting would have earned her a billion dollars.....she made the right choice.....she has her audience(don't know what they see in that show)....more power to her..... | |

As for whoopi, well, she wasted her talent aswell playing comedy ALL THE TIME. I know there isn't many, if hardly any roles for serious black female actors, but she coulda tried harder.  You do know Whoopi has always been a hybrid performer w/ a comic slant, right? I believe she broke through b/c of a one woman show she had that was comedy but mostly (if not all) done via inhabiting many different characters, so she was acting all through it. Comedy is a natural thing for her.
Had she stuck to serious roles she wouldn't have been able to make ends meet. Even Angela Bassett has to take shit roles just to keep working...   I never met you, but I LOVE you & I will forever!! Thank you for being YOU - my little Princey, the best to EVER do it | |
