14. Whoopie Goldberg
Speaking about cemeteries, Whoopie Goldberg also had her share of contact with the deceased. Upon becoming a licensed beautician, she was offered work as a mortuary beautician, and she took the job. Her boss even played a welcome prank on her, pretending to be dead one day when she came to work and then standing up. He told her “It’s the worst thing that can happen in this job, and it won’t. So there’s nothing to be scared of.”
But that’s not all. Seems that Whoopie really didn’t fancy ordinary, boring jobs. During a segment of The View she briefly mentioned how she was working as a phone sex operator, and that she was satisfied with the job. Probably not because of the nature of her work, but she mentioned that the money was great for somebody as young as she was at the time. But now she admits that probably too many people would recognize her voice. We kind of have to agree with her on that.
