Whoopi Goldberg – Guinan

We all know Whoopi Goldberg from her roles in films like “Sister Act,” “Sarafina” and “The Color Purple.” But only the most dedicated Trekkies know that Goldberg had a long-standing recurring role in “Star Trek: The Next Generation.” The part was also a dream one for her.
Goldberg can consider herself a bit of a Trekkie. This was ever since she saw the African American character Uhura on the show for the first time as a child. Taken by the fact that a black woman was on TV inspired her not just to act but also to become a lifelong “Star Trek” fan. In 2021 Goldberg starred in a series called “Harlem.”
