Recently, Whoopi Goldberg shared more about her relationship with Patrick Swayze and how he convinced her to make Ghost.
Goldberg said, “I get a phone call from my agent, Ron Meyer, who says, ‘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?’”
She continued, “So they [Zucker and Swayze] flew in, I meet Patrick, and out of the blue, we’re old friends. … About 40 minutes go by and Patrick says, ‘Please do this [movie] with me.’ I was like, ‘Yeah, okay.’ And that’s how it happened.”
She added, “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. He was sexy and sweet and just a terrific human being to me.”
What do you think Whoopi Goldberg’s best performance has been?
