Whoopi Goldberg The One Woman Show

Whoopi Goldberg was born Caryn Johnson in New York City and spent the first years of her life in a public housing project in Manhattan. She made her performing debut at age eight with the Helena Rubinstein Children's Theatre at the Hudson Guild. After dropping out of high school, she found work as a summer camp counselor, and in the choruses of the Broadway shows Hair, Jesus Christ Superstar and Pippin.

In 1974, after a failed marriage, she moved to California with her young daughter and, the following year, helped found the San Diego Repertory Theatre and joined the improvisational theater group Spontaneous Combustion. It was at this time that she adopted her distinctive stage name and began to develop the character monologues that were to make her famous. After moving to the San Francisco Bay Area, she joined another improvisational group, the Blake Street Hawkeyes, acquired a following for her work as a stand-up comedian, and toured the U.S. and Europe with her one-woman production, The Spook Show.


Whoopi Goldberg Biography Photo
In 1983 the legendary director Mike Nichols saw her perform and, the following year, presented her on Broadway in a one-woman show of her own creation. The show was an enormous success, and brought her to the attention of Steven Spielberg, who cast her in the leading role in his film of Alice Walker's The Color Purple. Making her film debut in this coveted role instantly established her as one of Hollywood's leading actresses. Her performance in Ghost won her an Academy Award. She followed this with memorable performances in the box-office smash Sister Act and the critically acclaimed Robert Altman film, The Player. Her other film credits include Made In America; Corinna, Corinna; Star Trek: Generations and Boys on the Side. In addition to her acting roles, Whoopi Goldberg has hosted her own television talk show and has earned rave reviews for hosting the annual Academy Awards telecast.

Aung San Suu Kyi

Aung San Suu Kyi was born on 19 June 1945. Her father, Aung San, negotiated Burma's independence from the United Kingdom in 1947, and was assassinated by his rivals in the same year. She grew up with her mother, Khin Kyi, and two brothers, Aung San Lin and Aung San Oo in Rangoon. Her favourite brother Aung San Lin drowned in a pool accident when Suu Kyi was eight. Her elder brother migrated to San Diego, California, becoming a United States citizen. Suu Kyi was educated in English Catholic schools for much of her childhood in Burma.

Khin Kyi (Ma Khin Kyi) gained prominence as a political figure in the newly-formed Burmese government. Ma Khin Kyi was appointed as Burmese ambassador to India in 1960, and Aung San Suu Kyi followed her there, graduating from Lady Shri Ram College in New Delhi in 1964.


She continued her education at St Hugh's College, Oxford, obtaining a B.A. degree in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics in 1969 and a Ph.D. at the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London in 1985. She also worked for the government of the Union of Myanmar. In 1972, Aung San Suu Kyi married Dr. Michael Aris, a scholar of Tibetan culture, living abroad in Bhutan. The following year she gave birth to first son, Alexander, in London; and in 1977 she had her second son, Kim.

Aung San Suu Kyi returned to Burma in 1988 to take care of her ailing mother. By coincidence, in that year, the long-time leader of the socialist ruling party, General Ne Win, stepped down, leading to mass demonstrations for democratisation on August 8, 1988 (8-8-88, a day seen as favorable), which were violently suppressed. A new military junta took power.

Heavily influenced by both Mahatma Gandhi's philosophy of non-violence and by more specifically Buddhist concepts[12], Aung San Suu Kyi entered politics to work for democratisation, helped found the National League for Democracy on 27 September 1988, and was put under house arrest on 20 July 1989. She was offered freedom if she would leave the country, but she refused.

Col. Pam Melroy The Woman to Command a U.S. Space Mission

(NASA pictures)

Col. Pam Melroy, age 44, has been named as the commander of STS-120, a space shuttle mission that is planned to add two new components to the International Space Station.

Melroy is only the second woman to command a U.S. space mission. This ought not to be a landmark, but it is one of a sort. Men have done it 144 times, not counting the thirteen crews to occupy the station (where it gets complicated--one crew member, American or Russian, is the "Expedition Commander," while another (always Russian) is "Soyuz Commander"--it doesn't make much difference; they've all been male).


The larger question is how soon Melroy and her six crewmates will get to launch. Five shuttle flights are ahead of them in line, and the debate over launching the first of them, STS-121 on July 1, was described as "spirited." (The flight numbers may seem to make no sense, but a flight gets one when it's been put together, and that may be different from the order in which the missions fly. STS-121 will be followed by STS-115; STS-119 comes after STS-120, and--oh, I'll let it go.)

Katie Holmes

Just hours after crossing the finish line in the grueling New York City Marathon, Katie Holmes stepped out again – in black, open-toed heels! – for husband Tom Cruise's film premiere.

While many other runners would be huddled in bed recovering, Holmes and Cruise walked hand-in-hand into the Museum of Modern Art Sunday night for a screening of his new film Lions for Lambs (directed by Robert Redford and costarring Meryl Streep). When asked about his wife's resilience, Cruise beamed proudly, telling PEOPLE, "I know, I know. It's amazing."


Also on hand were Cruise's mother and sister and Holmes's parents. "Isn't she amazing?" gushed mom Kathy. "She's such a good girl. We're so proud [of her]."

Earlier in the day, Holmes, 28, crossed the finish line in a respectable 5:29:58, as Cruise and their daughter Suri, 18 months, cheered from the sidelines.

Martina Hingis

Martina Hingis (born September 30, 1980 in Košice, Slovakia) is a former tennis player and World No. 1. Known as the "Swiss Miss", she won five Grand Slam singles titles (three Australian Open, one Wimbledon, and one US Open) before her retirement on November 1, 2007.

She also won nine Grand Slam women's doubles titles, winning a calendar year Grand Slam in 1998, and one Grand Slam mixed doubles title. She spent a total of 209 weeks as World No. 1 and set a series of "youngest-ever" records before ligament injuries in both ankles forced her to temporarily withdraw from professional tennis at the relatively early age of 22.


On November 29, 2005, after several surgeries and long recuperations, the 25-year-old Hingis announced that she would return to the WTA tour. During her comeback Hingis climbed as high as No. 6 in the world rankings and won three titles (at the Tier I tournament in Rome, the Tier III tournament in Kolkata, India, and the Tier I tournament in Tokyo).

On November 1, 2007, after suffering from injuries for much of the year, Hingis announced her second retirement from tennis while admitting she had tested positive for cocaine during the 2007 Wimbledon Championships. She denied using the drug.

“Throughout my career, I have always been open and honest with you,” said Martina Hingis in a press conference three days ago. “I find this accusation so horrendous, so monstrous... My weapon on the tennis court is and always was one single thing: the game, the ingenuity on court. And for this style of tennis, there is only one performance enhancer—the love of the game.

Is Martina Hingis guilty?


Like you and the rest of the tennis world, I hope she’s innocent. I hope she’s telling the truth. You see, Ms. Hingis is not tennis’ Bad Girl. She never was. You never read about her partying until 3 a.m. like Jennifer Capriati or lambasting an opponent who’s just beaten her like Serena Williams. Ever since she became the world’s youngest-ever world No.1 (at 16 years old) in 1997, her reputation was as white as the Swiss Alps snow.

I, for one, adored Hingis. When I had the chance, back in 1999, to visit the US Open with my dad Bunny, I stood 20 feet away from her while she practiced at a side court. I took photos, enlarged my eyes, and photographed the memory I knew I’d never forget.

Well, guess what... that picture ricocheted back two days ago alongside one word: DRUGS. It’s ugly, dirty and, worse of all, the question begs, “Do we believe Hingis or not?”

Take Marion Jones. Remember her? She was crowned one of history’s greatest track and field beings on Earth. Back at the 2000 Sydney Games, she was the princess, the Poster Girl, the smiling face of the Olympics who won gold medals in the 100 meters, 200 meters and the 1,600 relay, plus bronzes in the 400 relay and long jump.

Then, in 2004, she was accused of taking steroids. Her reply? And the reply of every athlete who’s ever been accused, guilty or not?

“I didn’t do it.”

Tell me I’m lying: Doesn’t everybody who’s ever been caught of anything utter the same four words...

“I didn’t do it.”

Today, of course, we know the truth. Marion Jones did do it. She injected steroids and, worse, she lied. Lied. Lied. While smiling before the cameras. The result? All her five Olympic medals have been confiscated, her earnings will be recovered, and she’s going to jail.

And that’s not all: While the rule says that the gold medal be handed over to the silver medalist, in the case of Jones’ 100-meter win, the second-placer, Katerina Thanou, failed to show up for drug tests on the eve of the Games and was suspended for two years. So, does that mean the gold be handed to the bronze medalist? Sure. But what if she’s also a drug cheat?

Is everybody a cheat?

In cycling—and this was a major shocker—Floyd Landis tested positive. That was another heartbreaker for us, the cycling fans. Because when the 2006 Tour de France started, we thought, well, this will be devoid of drama... but it wasn’t.

Because Landis wore the yellow jersey, surrendered it, wore it again, surrendered it, then rode “one of the most epic days of cycling ever seen” in Le Tour history, his Stage 17 victory.

Then... drugs. The allegation. The denial. The court case. And finally, Landis stripped of his Tour victory.

How sad. Who do we believe? Hingis? Landis? How about Barry Bonds? How about my all-time favorite sportsman, Lance Armstrong? Can we believe him? Can we trust anybody who says, “I didn’t do it?”

Sad. And I thought this only happened in politics!

The only solution to this chaotic cycle of lies? Follow the slogan adhered to by the Brotherhood of Christian Businessmen and Professionals (BCBP): “BE HONEST. EVEN IF OTHERS ARE NOT. EVEN IF OTHERS WILL NOT. EVEN IF OTHERS CANNOT.”
