I don’t think Whoopi Golberg was in First Contact, but she was in Generations.
Whoopi Goldberg, is the # 4 most connected actor of the 1990’s.
Hey Steve…she had a nice run in the 1980s…but she was unable to keep it up…and by the the mid 1990s she had lost that box office clout. I have seen 27 of these movies..so I more than double your tally…thank you thank you. TMNT is 3D count me in….lol. I am right there with you in regards to The Color Purple. 11 Oscar nominations and 0 wins….one of the biggest losers in Oscar history as went 0-11 on the night of the ceremony. Live long and prosper . Good stuff as always.
