## Hasierako urteak

Caryn Elaine Johnson Manhattanen jaio zen (New York hirian) 1955eko azaroaren 13an. Emma Johnson (jaiotzaz Harris; 1931–2010), erizaina eta irakaslea, eta Robert James Johnson Jr. (1930–1993), elizgizon baptista, zituen gurasoak. New York hiriko Chelsea-Elliot etxebizitza publikoko proiektuko etxeetan hazi zen.
Adierazi duenez, "Whoopi" aktore-ezizena "whoopee kuxin" (puzker soinua egiten duen gailua) batetik hartua du. Honakoa esan zuen: "Agertokian antzezten zaudela, inoiz ez da astirik izaten komunera joan eta atea ixteko. Beraz, haizeak dituzunean, joaten utzi behar diozu. Orduan, jendeak esaten zidan: 'Whoopee kuxin baten modukoa zara'. Eta hortik etorri zen izena".
1970eko hamarkadan, Goldberg San Diegora (Kalifornia) mugitu zen, non zerbitzari aritu zen; ondoren, Berkeleyra joan zen, eta hainbat enplegu bitxi izan zituen, esaterako, banketxeko kutxazain, tanatoestetikari eta igeltsero. Blake Street Hawkeyes izeneko abangoardiako teatro taldearekin bat egin zuen, eta komedia- eta aktore-eskolak ematen zituen; Courtney Love izan zen haren ikasleetako bat. Halaber, hainbat antzerki-ekoizpenetan egon zen. 1978an, bi hegazkinek San Diegon izan zuten talkaren lekuko izan zen, eta hegan egiteko beldurra eta estres postraumatikoko nahasmendua eragin zizkion.
