Perfection!
"Doing the best at this moment puts you in the best place for the next moment."
Oprah Winfrey is a broadcaster and an entrepreneur. She was born on January 29, 1954 in Kosciusko, Mississippi, and named at birth Oprah Gail Winfrey, after one character in the Bible's Book of Ruth. However, Winfrey claims her name to be created because she has problems pronouncing and spelling Oprah, especially at the "r" and the "p".
Oprah Winfrey's father, Vermon Winfrey was a coal miner and a barber before he became a city councilperson. He was in the Armed Forces when Oprah Winfrey was born.
Oprah's mother, Vernita Lee was a housemaid. When Oprah Winfrey was born, her mother travelled north, so Winfrey spent her first six years living in a rural poverty margin with her grandmother Hattie Mae. Her grandma taught her to read before the age of three. She took her to the local church in the area. The folk at the church nicknamed Oprah Winfrey "The Preacher", because they saw how perfect she was when she recites the Bible verses.
Oprah Winfrey moved to a Milwaukee inner city ghetto with her mother when she was six and a half. She was abused as a child by both her cousin and her uncle, as she stated herself, while she was living with her mother. And in regard to her education, Winfrey skipped two of her grades, became the teacher's pet, and received a scholarship to attend a prestigious all-white high school when she was 13.
Oprah Winfrey was taken by the rebel movement of the late 60s and ran away from home to the streets. Her mother sent her to her father in Nashville, Tennessee, when she was 14. Her father was encouraging while taking her education as priority.
Oprah Winfrey became an honors student. She was voted as "Most Popular Girl". She joined her high school speech team, and placed second in the nation in dramatic interpretation. She won an oratory contest, which secured her full scholarship in Tennessee State University, a historical black institution. She studied communications.
Oprah Winfrey won the Miss Black Tennessee Beauty pageant at the age of 18. She worked at a local radio station and obtained her media career when she was 17. She was the first black news anchor at Nashville's WTVF-TV. She moved to Baltimore's WJZ-TV in 1976 to co-anchor the six o'clock news.
Oprah Winfrey moved to Chicago, Illinois, in 1983, to host WLS-TV's the low-rated half-hour morning talk show. Those TV Talk Shows were low-rated, but by overtaking Phil Donahue's talk show platform, Oprah Winfrey worked hard to take them to the highest rated talk shows in Chicago. The Oprah Winfrey Show was created from them, expanded to a full hour, and the first show about "marrying the right person" was broadcasted nationally in September 8, 1986.
Oprah Winfrey co-starred in 1985, in Steven Spielberg's epic film adaptation of Alice Walker's award-winning novel "The Color Purple". In October 1988, Oprah Winfrey produced and starred in "Beloved", based upon Toni Morrison's Pulitzer Prize winning novel by the same name.
Oprah Winfrey publishes the two "O" magazines: O the Oprah Magazine and O at Home.
