Plays Policewoman Going Undercover As A Prostitute
Whoopi Goldberg in Fatal Beauty 1987
Whoopi Goldberg plays a cop who goes undercover as a prostitute, dressed to the nines in a street-walking outfit. Her hooker costume was so sensational it later went up for auction and sold for an undisclosed sum. Some might say Whoopi DID NOT play a prostitute in this film (as she was a cop going undercover as a hooker). To those naysayers, answer this. Did she or did she not play a nun in “Sister Act?” After all, in that movie, she was a lounge singer who masqueraded as a nun. If you can accept that Whoopi did indeed play a Nun in “Sister Act,” then the same rule should apply that she played a hooker in “Fatal Beauty.”
