I really wanted to do a profile on Whoopi Goldberg to celebrate her new job on the View, but I’m finding that not to be an easy task. Astrotheme has a birth time of 12:48 pm which is unsubstantiated anywhere else; and in fact her birth date is also in dispute. Some sources say she was born in 1949 and older sources give 1955, although Wikipedia claims that New York birth records give a date of 1950.

An accurate birth date, at least, is necessary to achieve astrological accuracy so if anyone out there has any insights into Whoopi’s birthdate please let me know!
