Born November 13, 1955
American Oscar-Emmy-Grammy-Tony-winning actress. She is one of only a few actors to have won Academy, Tony, Emmy, and Grammy awards, and she is the second black woman to win an Academy Award for acting. According to Whoopi, she garnered her name from her stage work, “When you’re performing on stage, you never really have time to go into the bathroom and close the door. So if you get a little gassy, you’ve got to let it go. So people used to say to me, ’You’re like a whoopee cushion.’ And that’s where the name came from.”Film: The Color Purple (1985), Ghost (1990, psychic Oda Mae Brown). and Sister Act (1992). TV: Star Trek: The Next Generation (Guinan), and The View (2007-, moderator).

Anyone — and especially a monarch — who doesn’t look before they sit deserves whatever consequence results.
No one else should be blamed.
