Oprah Winfrey

Oprah Winfrey is well known for her part in activism and charities all over the world. She has become an inspiration for all people no matter their race, gender, orientation, for lifestyle. Her major accomplishments stem from a 1972 Miss Black Tennessee beauty pageant to her own television network which is currently available as OWN: Oprah Winfrey Network.

And there are 105.

her closet in her Chicago mansion is over 1,200 square feet

Oprah does not have children because she was not well mothered herself.

Yes, when she was 14 she gave birth to a premature child who died at birth. Then later that year she went to jail to serve a 2 year sentence for drugs or something related to that. that is why she is so good at her job. She has lived through it all and that's why she helps so many people

I personally don't think so my mom says she couldn't have lost weight that fast but i think she did weight watchers

Upon a visit to her friend John Travola's home, Oprah discovered she's in the town full of 'Woods' descendants. The aunt she's looking for was a native of South Carolina, just as Frank Woods, Sr.

Frank Woods was a mysterious man who never revealed much about himself. He married a part Cherokee, part British petite colored woman named Julia Desdemona White, and had 2 children by her. Julia died of childbirth in 1917, leaving Frank to raise a 1 1/2 year old boy, Edgar. and newborn baby girl, Julia Elouise Lora.

These two tiny tots were actually raised by Adaline, Julia's devoted Christain mother.

Edgar grew up and married. He had 12 children. Julia Elouise moved to Jacksonville and married. She had 7 children.. Her youngest, Val ,became the first female Chief of Police in Orlando.

It is believed Oprah therefore met some of Edgar's offsprings and/or grandchildren in the region.

Is she related? Very exciting for Edgar and Julia Elouise's offspring, but yet has to be verified!

Oprah Winfrey became who she is, because her own childhood changed her for the good. Her childhood was filled with sad and depressing events, and at that time she became pregnant. She lost the baby at a young age, and that someway somehow made her stronger. Her mother had send her to her father, and he was very strict with her. He put her on the right path, but Oprah always carried the lessons she learned, the sadness that's in her heart, and more. During her teenage years, she wanted to become a journalist. For the reason, she wants to let the victims of abuse voices be heard across the world, she wanted people to tell their stories, and Oprah Winfrey wanted to give other people a chance to retell their journey. She didn't have that chance, from the pain she went through made her become a journalist. Which led to being a newscaster, then a talk show host, and to the famous Oprah Winfrey.

Some may say that she's way to busy, but i think it's because she may be traumatized by her past of being raped getting pregnant and losing her child at age 14. Although This maybe true she did have a child at the age of 14. During this time Oprah was slumping on her school work and hanging around with people others considered to be bad. The horrifying truth behind this is that the day the young Oprah decided to tell her Father sh ewas pregnet she went into early laybor. Two weeks after having a baby boy, Oprah's newly born died.

She is the owner of Harpo Corporation. This corporation produces television shows, publishes a magazine, and owns a cable network (along with a bunch of other stuff). Oprah's most know as the daytime television host on a show called "Oprah".

Oprah Winfrey is not even a Christian. She has not shared publicly whether or not she owns a bible.

Harpo (her name spelled backwards) is her productioin company, The Angel Network is her charity

No, you might be thinking of Dolly Parton. I watched the movie "Straight talk" last night and I thought the same thing. The desk clerk that was showing Dolly how to do the receptionist job at the WNDY radio building was definitely Oprah. If not, it was an incredible likeness.

I love Oprah Winfrey she is a role model for me and she is the richest woman alive i think. And if she not the richest then who is. I love Oprah and i would love to meet her one day... this is shantae huddleston and this is my opinion.... what yours...
