from Celebrity Encounters Podcast · host CelebrityEncountersPodCast
In this fun loving trip down memory lane, the "Allens" (and one Harlan!) gather to share an unbelievable encounter from Whoopi Goldberg’s early days in San Diego—long before she was a household name on The View or starring in The Color Purple. You’ll learn the hilarious (and slightly gassy!) reason behind her famous stage name, her surprising past lives as a bricklayer and a funeral makeup artist, and how she was eventually "discovered" by the great Mike Nichols. Plus Oprah "You get a car" and her catchphrase History! WANT TO BE A GUEST on our podcast?
