Whoopi Goldberg celebrated her 60th birthday on "The View" with her co-hosts today, according to E!. Celebrity guests joined the actress, who has been nominated for 13 Emmy Awards for her work in television.
Comedian Billy Crystal dropped in to wish Whoopi a happy birthday. He talked about their late friend, Robin Williams, with whom the three performed stand-up comedy at the notable Comic Relief fundraisers for the homeless in the 80s, reported The Washington Post. Williams died at 63 in 2014.
Goldberg was presented with a patriotic-themed birthday cake.
"I want to thank two people that I...I'm so much better for knowing and that's Billy and Robin," Whoopi said. "They're my...my loves and my hearts and so, I, you know, he's always with us, I think."
Academy Award winner Robert De Niro also joined Whoopi in her birthday festivities. "And of course I told you already that Bob is family," she said, referring to De Niro. "And so is Billy and so are you guys and it's just really great to be here, so Mazel Tov. Happy birthday to me."
No birthday celebration is complete without an appearance from Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse, of course. The Walt Disney performers dropped in on "The View," which airs on ABC and is owned by the Walt Disney Company, noted E!.
The EGOT winner, who has earned the coveted title as a winner of the Emmy, the Grammy, the Oscar, and the Tony, recently wrote a book on relationships.
