Whoopi Goldberg reveals she almost didn't get Ghost because the studio thought she would "take people out of the movie." Keke Palmer: How many of your roles were actually written for you? Whoopi Goldberg: Two. The Color Purple was written with me in mind, which was great. Keke Palmer: That's crazy because when I look at your work, it feels like completely different people. The person in Ghost doesn't even feel like the same person. Whoopi Goldberg: That's exactly what I want. Marlon Brando used to disappear into his characters, and that's always been the goal for me. Whoopi Goldberg: What's funny is I wasn't even supposed to be in Ghost. A friend came over for lunch and said, "Every Black woman in Hollywood was auditioning for this movie." Keke Palmer: Out the grave! Whoopi Goldberg: That's what she said! I realized I had never even been called. So I called my agent and asked what happened. Whoopi Goldberg: He finally admitted, "We suggested you, but they didn't want you because they felt you would take people out of the movie." Keke Palmer: Wow. Whoopi Goldberg: I was shooting The Long Walk Home in Alabama when my agent called again. He said, "Remember that movie they didn't want you for? They hired the lead actor, and he wants you in it." Whoopi Goldberg: I asked who it was. Whoopi Goldberg: He said, "Patrick Swayze." Whoopi Goldberg: Patrick and the director flew all the way to Alabama. We spent the day improvising, laughing, and working together. Whoopi Goldberg: The very next day, they offered me the part. Keke Palmer: That's unbelievable.

Initially, Whoopi Goldberg was not considered for the part of Oda Mae Brown in "Ghost" (1990). When she was eating lunch with one of her friends who auditioned for the role, she was informed that “Every black woman and their mother was there”. When she finished lunch, Goldberg called her agent and asked, ‘Do you know about this movie that everybody’s talking about?’ He said, ‘Oh, who told you?’ And she told him the name of the person and asked her agent, ‘Why did you say it like that?’ her agent replied, ‘Because they don’t want you [for the movie],’” One day, Goldberg got a phone call from her agent, who said, ‘Patrick Swayze has been hired for this movie. Patrick is not going to do this if you don’t do it. Can you make some time for him and the director to come up?’” Goldberg said that Jerry Zucker and Swayze flew to meet her, and she was immediately at ease. “So they flew in, I meet Patrick, and out of the blue, we’re old friends" Shortly after, Swayze made his pitch for 'Ghost'. "About 40 minutes go by and Patrick says, 'Please do this with me and I was like, 'Yeah, okay.' And that’s how it happened. I said yes, not really knowing what it was going to be. It wasn’t until we all saw the film that we realized what we had.” For her performance in the movie, Whoopi Goldberg became the first actress to win Best Supporting Actress at the Academy Awards, BAFTA Awards and Golden Globe Awards.
