London,

Actress
Whoopi
Goldberg
was
recently
honoured
with
the
Marlon
Brando
Award
at
the
2009
Stella
by
Starlight
Gala
for
her
achievement
in
Hollywood.
The
Ghost
star
celebrated
remembering
her
late
friend
and
legendary
actor
after
whom
the
award
was
titled.
"It
(the
award)
was
great
just
because
of
my
relationship
with
Marlon,
so
it
was
nice," the
Daily
Express
quoted
her
as
saying.
She
added:
"We
spoke
often
and
we
talked
a
lot,
and
I'd
much
rather
have
him
than
the
award.
He
was
a
good
man.
I
didn't
get
to
work
with
him
but
I
hung
out
with
him."
The
gala
that
took
place
in
New
York
was
aimed
to
raise
money
for
the
Stella
Adler
Studio
of
Acting.
