Celebrities You Never Knew Changed Their Names
Whoopi Goldberg – Real Name: Caryn Elaine Johnson
Whoopi Goldberg is a name that everyone knows. She is a film and television actress who has won numerous honors over her career, including being one of only a few people to win an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony, and is best known for co-hosting “The View” since 2007.
Her unusual name and remarkable performances, like the one in “Sister Act,” make her nearly impossible to forget. However, neither Whoopi nor Goldberg is her birth name. Caryn Elaine Johnson, a name you’d anticipate from the ’50s, is the name she was given when she was born.
