To mark her run in the West End Musical ‘Sister Act‘, Madame Tussauds London today unveiled a re-dressed wax figure of actress, Whoopi Goldberg, wearing an exact replica of the costume she wears on stage as Mother Superior on August 18, 2010. The usual red silk Chinese style trouser suit was swapped for a full length black and white habit, complete with wimple and veil. The figure was first unveiled at Madame Tussauds in 1990 coinciding with her Oscar winning performance in Ghost. (Photo by Ian Gavan/Getty Images) Content © 2010 Getty Images All rights reserved.
