They had a child together. Though she married young — at age 18 — and was divorced by , she also found real joy in the experience. Martin Dean, despite not having much, recalled a happy life.

Central Recorder Minimalistic Informative News. I was a child of the Sixties so I ingested as many mind-altering substances as I could. It was a rite of passage.
And when I got clean I was convinced I wanted to be an actor. Became a grandmother at Goldberg's daughter, Alex Martin, gave birth to a baby girl when she was just 16 years old. Whoopi was also a young mum, giving birth to Martin when she was Was the first woman to host the Academy Awards: Golberg has hosted Hollywood's night of nights four times and was the first woman to do it solo in She maintains she's not rich despite a long and very successful career: Last year Goldberg produced a documentary about legendary comedian Moms Mabley.
But she copped a lot of criticism by partially funding the film through Kickstarter , a website that asks for donations from the public to get projects completed. While she may seem to have it all now, there was a time before fame when Goldberg had all odds stacked against her. At age 7, her mother Emma enrolled her in the Hudson Guild Children's Theater where she began her appreciation for acting. However, as she got older, an undiagnosed case of dyslexia prevented her from excelling in school.
Eventually, the learning disorder discouraged young Whoopi so much that she dropped out of high school and turned to drug use for an escape. As a young and homeless heroin addict, Whoopi was lost. Fortunately, a handful of friends were able to see the potential in her and encouraged her to get clean.
This is not the life for you, and we are not going to help you anymore. Just listen to her politics. Big story If she's looking for praise, she can keep looking. On her best day, Whoopi was never "high-functioning. For the Mindless ones that don't Know what MIss Goldbergs talents are she is Comedian actress spokes person political activist teacher and parent.
I just wonder, how can you go to the bathroom in your bed? Hers must be a pretty big bathroom. I guess I'll have to try it for myself. Racism and stupidity do not necessarily go hand in hand. However, naivety and tolerance skip along hand in hand and strait over the cliff. Charlie sheen problem is spiritual; what he really needs is to do a seven day fast with only water, this will break the addictive stronghold he has.
Judging by Whoopi's undisciplined and irrational political spewings on The View, I'm not entirely sure her brain has remained entirely unscathed by the drugs, nor whether she could be considered truly "high functioning" in light of such evidence to the contrary. It appears we have bigger problems to worry about than who Charlie Sheen is banging or Whoopi's sad song about being addicted to drugs. I feel so sorry for you Whoopi Who cares about this drug addict. Big deal. There's a lot more important things going on than her.
Charlie sheen won't get better until they take away his show from him and he burns through his million in cash. That will never happen because cbs is too greedy to give up their cash cow. Who cares what a washed up hack like Whoopi thinks anyway. She walked off her own show because she heard a comment she didn't like.
Who does that? She may be off drugs, but she's still high as a kite on her own ego. Wow, she wet the bed 'cause of her addiction? Didi she shave off her eyebrows in the process? Big Breaking News? This is the best HLN can do? Whoopi is big breaking news. Thats just sad. They lock up drug addicts indefinitely in Hawaii? You do know what "rehab" is short for right? Lindsay Lohan and Charlie Sheen I would give up my first child to see them partying together!
I bet they are a blast not. We are a blast Don't be jeallous just becuase you can't pop bottles and tounge punch your Granny like we do.
Hollywood could do America a favor by not hiring drug addicts and require them to undergo rehab as a requirement for work. Just like most American workers. Yo-yo rehab for the likes of Charlie Sheen and Lindsay Lohan is now more of a publicity stunt and way to pump up a fading career, than an authentic attempt to get straight.
Hollywood studios could have a zero-tolerance policy for actors who need rehab. But they won't do it:: too much money at stake and besides Americans love the phoney drama. Peter Klika, Kapaau, Hawaii we put druggies in rehab for keeps here.
To people out there who are drug addicts, who are struggling with alcoholism and addiction, Whoopie's reflection on her past gives them hope. She is a living example that they can change, that they can become someone, and that it's never too late. I have nothing but admiration for her sharing her story. Addiction is a disease and not something to be taken lightly. I've worked with recovering addicts to help them get their lives in order, some were doctors, lawyers, etc.
Charlie Sheen must deal with his addiction in his own time but not in his own way and I pray it won't be too late. Addiction is a disease? Show me the pathogen that causes addiction. Addiction is weakness. Nothing more. LOL How many '2nd chances' can he get? He's next to go. I am shocked. I am still trying to figure out what her "talent" is, other than to be outspoken.
When a person is active in their addiction, you don't think about others but only themselves. To all of you freaking out about the racist comment: You people honestly still don't know what a Troll is do you? Now THAT is ignorance. I even had orian on my leg even then had one show up under my arm.
O save me the imbar no did than the 60s ru missing someeeeeething an further mmmMmmmmmm o r. Whats funny about all this, is that there is a slew of stars, musicians, actors, etc. Take Samuel L. Jackson for example. Go Whoopi! Nice to have a voice for people in Charlie's situation. I have faith he will dig himself out of this.
Straight as a arrow? Having seen her loopy as hell on The View, very similar to Danny DeVito's Lemoncello still drunk episode, she hasn't been straight long. Wow CNN — do you see 50? Also it helps to just to identify a post as deleted instead of totally removing it.
Whoopie's concern is about drawing attention to herself, not about showing empathy for Charlie. There's no reason she should share those kinds of details about her addiction unless she's speaking at an NA meeting.
She's as narcissistic as they come save Kayne. Whoopi's reply wasn't about her More likely than not, it was to stop the non-sensical drivel of her co-hosts who always have an opinion about something they have no experience to back up.
What she said was absolutely correct in terms of pointing out how low you have to go to WANT to seek help. Good Luck Charlie! You need it. Addiction is a devastating disease and very few who have never been there have an adequate enough understanding to relate or to have any real compassion for. Of course, i the comments section it is a battle of who can make the snarkiest comment, who can level the most direct petty insult.
I have known many addicts with more class than the majority of those of comment here. Judge way, hypocrites. Judge away, for someday you may be judged yourself by your "peers". No, it is not a disease. That's what addicts want to hear to make them feel better. It's not my fault, I have a disease!!! Congratulations on never having been addicted to anything. Telling someone who is going through withdrawal because they're actually trying to kick the habit that they're just trying to refuse responsibility for their actions seems a bit That's why some people can do a line of coke a few times and never go back and some people end up in prison for stealing in order to purchase more coke.
It's pathetic that in there are still so many ignorant, racist individuals. Hate is born of ignorance and what goes around comes around. Those that choose to hold their fellow man in contempt will get a healthy dose of Karma.
Elvis Costello said it best — "What's so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding? Most addicts can function while on matinence doses of opiates. The disfunction starts while going thru withdrawal. Proof positive that ignorance is still alive and well. Sad isn't it? Shame on CNN for allowing such drivel.
The one with the ugly responses is probably one person with several screen names, who is not working and hates themselves so much that they have to suggest the worst about everyone else.
We will all pray for your recovery because there is clearly something very wrong with you. Alot of tough talk here i guess its safer since we are on the computer racists white men never want to go toe to toe with black folks he always has to have a cowardly advantage. Cha-Ching — it's not just the white man. I'm white as a ghost and racism makes me sick.
All races have a percentage of haters. There are white people who are idiots and racist — there are also black people who are racist and stereotype all white people as racist. That is not the case and is a big part of the problem. If all of you are going to make comments regarding an article you have read, could you at least learn to spell and use proper English?
It's hard to take any of you seriously when you're educational background is in question. Don't question others educational background when you can't even distinguish between you and you're.
You're means you are as in you're an idiot. I don't always agree with some statements that Whoopi has said on the View. Some statements were way over the top for me.
But on this, I want to go on record by telling Whoopi thank you for your honesty. Finding yourself in that state of addition is very difficult.
Trying to get through to Mr. Sheen and people that are in the middle of addition, is the first step. Is anyone surprised at this statement by Whoopi. It has been apparent that something is wrong with this idiot just by her actions while on the 'View". However I would think that everyone except maybe Elizabeth on the 'View' are high on something illegal.
Really Danny? So Sheri Shepard is high on something? Joy Behar? Barbara Walters? Come on! Whoopi is just an up-front person on the show and has not exhibited one iota of a clue she may be under the influence. I appreciate her honesty! I worked and lived at a drug rehab facility for a year as a resident counselor. Whoopi is right that Charlie Sheen is not anywhere near rock bottom. Non-addicts idea of rock bottom is a lot prettier than those in active addiction.
I'm glad Whoopi knows enough to remind her coworkers that their condemnation is not going to affect Mr. Sheen at all. It's HIS responsibility and he may very well die before he hits rock bottom. I pray for his and his family that the light will come on before its too late. AND I think the film crew should get severance or something or released from their responsibilities so they can find other work.
Not sure of their obligations in this case. For days on end he would lie upon the sofa in the sitting-room, hardly uttering a word or moving a muscle from morning to night. On these occasions I have noticed such a dreamy, vacant expression in his eyes, that I might have suspected him of being addicted to the use of some narcotic, had not the temperance and cleanliness of his whole life forbidden such a notion. Whoopi is a high functioning addict. Really, Am I the only one who's seen her work.
There is nothing high functioning about any of it, save 'Ghost'. WAS a high functioning drug addict. You sound so uneducated. Come to think of it.. That where she was prolly on the stuff.. You are probably scared of black folks because you think they are ruining your life somehow. They arent. You are. Take responsibility folks. As for the article, I think whoopis admission was brave and she's right about Charlie. He will change when he's ready and hopefully he will do it before he does to much damage.
Whoopi has come a long way from Karen — way to go girl. She pulled herself, on her own, out of the gutter. There's more than a few commenters here who seem to find the gutter a comfortable home.
Hopefully Whoopi will come to San Diego and reprise her one person character show — remember, the one you did at the old Gas Lamp? Hey people—here's a clue about how to use a comment board. When someone says something that you want to reply to, ht the "reply" button directly underneath their comment.
That way when their comment is deleted because of objectionable content, yours will be too Lord have mercy. It is apparrent that Ms. Goldberg is an intelligent and articulate human being. She expressed compassion and empathy toward a person who has challenges.
It is easy for her to empathasize, having first hhand experience. Until you have walked in one's shoes, how can one pass judgement? Apparently she has a great deal to offer, and that is why she is in the position to do so, and is compensated financially for doing so.
With regard to racism, it is an arrogance that typically stems from a person's own insecurities. Itis easy to try to denigrade someone based on race, but at the root of this is a larger demon than that which Ms.
Goldber experienced. Its a shame 20 above is still stuck in Your ignorance is noted. What a poor cry for attention. Wow, I am completely astonished as the nasty, racist remarks from some of these people. You may not like Whoopi but there is no need to talk this way. Grow up! If you have an opinion, share it, but do it in a civilized, educated manner. I feel for your kids! CNN - Where are you? Do you not monitor your comments? I am more disgusted with you right now, than the ignorant masses that are posting.
Unfortunately, in many of these cases, Charlie's head may not get to that decision but his heart will have something to say about it. Majority of Americans are respectful people by nature. But then we have those few that have zero respect for humanity unless it is preaching racism and intolerance. Your'e right, very childish comments on here. CNN should screen the retards who post such comments.. Mojo, do you realize that 'idiot' is several levels lower than 'retarted' on the scale of intellectual capacity?
So calling someone an idiot is pretty much the same as using 'retard' in a derogatory way, which you are criticizing another poster for doing.
