Goldberg Eyes Nobel Peace Prize
By WENNMonday, October 4, 2010
WHOOPI GOLDBERG has set her sights set on making great strides in the fight for world peace - she wants to add a Nobel Peace Prize to her vast collection of awards.
The Ghost actress, 54, is already one of an elite group of stars to have won an Oscar, a Grammy, a Tony and an Emmy award, but she insists there’s one prestigious honour which means more to her than any other.
And Goldberg, who is already an activist and philanthropist, hopes her charitable efforts will be recognised by the Nobel Foundation within the next 26 years.
She tells USA Weekend, “Before I’m 80, I’d like to get a Nobel Prize. I believe that it’s possible to really work toward (peace). That’s the one I want. (Even if I don’t get the award), I’m going to (work for peace) anyway.”
