Actress Whoopi Goldberg sheds her flying fears!

New York, April 17: Whoopi Goldberg is trying her best to beat her flying fears by travelling via air. Last month, the ‘View’ star shuttled back and forth to LA in a bus instead of taking a flight, when the show was being taped there for a week. However, recently Goldberg managed to fly to London, where the musical version of the movie ‘Sister Act’ will be previewed next month. The actress took a private jet, and was accompanied by a doctor who stood by with needles and sedatives, if in case she panicked. "I had a guy with me, but I didn`t need it. I`m kinda proud,” a news daily quoted her as saying. The 53-year-old actress prepared for the flight after participating in a program run by Virgin Atlantic, where she sat down with a psychologist and a pilot. And now the actress is so confident that she said: "I`m going to fly to the West Coast to surprise my daughter." ANI
