Whoopi Goldberg Retires from Acting

“You know, there's no room for the very talented Whoopi . There's no room right now in the marketplace of cinema.”

The Oscar-winning star, 52, who replaced Rosie O'Donnell on long-running daytime show The View last month, insists there's "no room" for her in Hollywood anymore--because there are younger, more glamorous ... via Hollywood.com

I liked her best in Ghost. Funny, serious she played her role to perfection.

I always thought she was an untalented hack who was smart enough to play up to Hollywood bigwigs and media types. I think she needs a good bath.

Whoppi get better. I liked Whoppi on Chicago WLIT, but also like Melissa Foreman. I can listen to Whoppi on my PC and Melissa on my radio.

I think Whoppi is a great actress, and very multi-talented. Great addition to The View.

I've followed Whoopi career for years. I would watch any movie or show with her in it!

Retired or just can't get work anymore.

[Who is she anyway]

Can honestly say I never liked her. She was NOT a good actress, Not a good comic and very ugly. hate her politics and will NOT miss her one second! so unless she is going to run for some office - this is good news.

How is this. Haaaaaaaaaaa Whoopi is nothing.

I like listening to her talking voice.

I really enjoyed Jumpin Jack Flash. But there was nothing I didn't enjoy. She never made crap. Cept for her one woman part on 'The telephone.'
That goes back a bit. I'm not surprised she feels the younger generation a bit threatening. I respect her stand. I would like to see her in a few years making a come back with some real mature parts.

I wish she had done more with Sam Elliot. That no producer or director saw their chemistry was a travesty. I'm not talking romance, but their screen presence together. Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock have it as well. The Lake House was a damned fine movie.

The only negative about Whoopi is I think she took Ted Danson for a big ride, ate him up and spat him out. you just gotta know she's a player. Yup, the easy lover song thru and thru

Whoopi is a great actor. She need to star dressing more lady like.

Whoopi Goldberg is an original. I hope she reconsiders.

Let her come back in 10 yrs and we'll be in love all over again :)

HALLELUJAH! See, I knew something good had to come out of being assaulted with all of that Rosie vs. Trump caterwauling a while back.

As long as Whooptie hangs out only on the View, I'll never have to see her horrifying face again.

an acquired taste perhaps

[ufirst07]

her acting is ok. her stand up comedy was horrific. i would say calling her or rosie a stand up comedian is a travesty to all comedians.

When was she an "actor"? Hope she has "retired" from smoking! She fought smoke-free air, to which we ALL have a long-standing RIGHT, so I hope she moves to another planet.
