The View's Whoopi Goldberg candidly admits she 'chose' her career OVER her child after becoming a mom at 19 because she felt her shot at fame 'would never happen again'
During a candid chat on Tuesday's The View, Whoopi, 68, told her co-hosts that she never travelled anywhere without her kid, who she gave birth to in 1974 - before her acting career kicked off.
Academy Award winner Whoopi Goldberg has admitted that she chose her acting career over her only child Alexandrea Martin because she knew the opportunity to pursue success in entertainment 'would never happen again.' Whoopi's daughter Alexandrea was 11 years old when her movie goers got the chance to witness her talents in her first major film role in Steven Spielberg's The Color Purple, in which she played Celie Harris-Johnson. The acting jobs started coming in thick and fast for the New York native and in 1991, Whoopi won the Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her portrayal of Oda Mae Brown in the 1990 hit Ghots - which starred Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore.
