GRANDDAUGHTERS' BIRTHDAY LOVE
Jerzey shared on her Instagram Story an old printed snap of herself and Goldberg. The picture looked like a souvenir photo back in one of the duo’s trips outside the country.
She and the "Ghost" actress flashed sweet smiles in the picture. Goldberg, who sported a pair of eyeglasses, wore a black coat beside Jerzey, who donned a grey jacket with a light brown scarf.
A woman of few words, the "Jersey Kennedy Designs" owner wrote a short but sweet birthday greeting addressed to Goldberg, which she ended with a cute emoji.
Amarah Skye, who shares the same birthday with Goldberg, whom she fondly calls "Gmoms," posted on Instagram a large black-and-white picture of the "Sister Act" star.
Goldberg, a great-grandmother to Amarah’s daughter, Charli Rose, is pictured carrying Amara when she was a baby. Amarah has nothing but love for her favorite person. She wrote:
"Happy Birthday To Me And Gmoms @whoopigoldberg Both Born on November 13th. What A Special Day to Share With Such A Special Person!"

AN INFLUENTIAL GRANDMOTHER
Among Goldberg’s three grandchildren, Amarah has inherited her grandmother’s creativity. She is now making a name for herself as a visual artist specializing in acrylic, spray paint, and mixed media.
Amarah shared in a past interview that her grandmother was influential to her. She used to love acting, but she decided to pursue visual arts after she took art classes.
She said that she owed late actor Patrick Swayze for helping her land a role in the highly-acclaimed movie, "Ghost."
GOLDBERGS FAVORITE ITEMS
Besides the birthday love Goldberg received from her beautiful granddaughters, she earlier revealed her favorite things to gift this year in line with her birthday celebration.
The legendary actress offered her favorite things as gift items for all the people to enjoy this holiday season, such as holiday-themed facemasks, vintage flannel shirts, and tie-dye shirts.
She also put on display her favorite hair care products and spices. Because she is a “Star Wars: The Mandalorian” fan, she included The Child Real Moves plush toys known as “baby Yoda.”
Goldberg earlier opened up about the person who was instrumental to her success in Hollywood. She said that she owed late actor Patrick Swayze for helping her land a role in the highly-acclaimed movie, "Ghost."
The Oscar-winning actress disclosed in an interview with Naomi Campbell’s YouTube series “No Filter with Naomi” how she was not almost cast in the 1990 film until Swayze arrived and changed her life.
