Whoopi, I am glad you are on the View and I wish you were making movies again. I don't know too much about your situation. Financially, everyone is having hard times we all have to hang in there.

I think Whoopi is a class act.I have been her fan way back when she did her first show on Broadway. She is so real. I really love her,Barbara,Joy,Sheri and even Elizabeth. I wish Elizabeth would be fair and stop trying to talk over everyone whenever Obama's name comes up. She almost makes me want to stop watching the View. She seems to be so unhappy. Getting back to Whoopi,I am so happy for her.

I love you, Whoopie, and always have, and the fact that you did not save any money from your past successes is none of our business (to CAT107), I'm with you and wish you the best in your past (Sister Act, being the producer) present and future. You are phenomenol.

I admire her for stating that The View help her when she was down and out, how amazing to admit this on TV. What strength Whoopie has and continues to be the great star she is in todays fast track celebrity stats.

I guess no.
