As she grew up, Whoopi gained fame for her comedic roles, often portraying cheerful, overweight women.

But in her early career, she appeared in various films, like “Purple Flowers” at the age of 30, where she played a vulnerable and sensitive character named Celia.

Back then, she had a delicate and fragile appearance and didn’t wear bold or flashy outfits. In a picture from a Stephen King film, Whoopi looks frightened and lacking confidence.

It’s hard to recognize the well-known Whoopi Goldberg in her delicate facial features.

Nowadays, she prefers to play much bolder and diverse characters, different from the modest role of Celia, who fought for civil rights.
