Oprah Gail Winfrey (born January 29, 1954) is an American media personality, Academy Award nominated actress, producer, and magazine publisher, best known for her self-titled, multi-award winning talk show, which has become the highest-rated program of its kind in history.[1] She has been ranked the richest African American of the 20th century,[2] the most philanthropic African American of all time,[3] and was once the world's only black billionaire.[4][5][6][7][8] She is also, according to some assessments, the most influential woman in the world.[9][10][11]
Winfrey was born into poverty in rural Mississippi to a teenage single mother and later raised in an inner city Milwaukee neighborhood. She experienced considerable hardship during her childhood, including being raped at age 9 and becoming pregnant at age 14. Tragedy followed as her son died in infancy.[12] Sent to live with the man she calls her father, a barber in Tennessee, Winfrey landed a job in radio while still in high school and began co-anchoring the local evening news at the age of 19.[13] Her emotional ad-lib delivery eventually got her transferred to the daytime talk show arena, and after boosting a third-rated local Chicago talk show to first place,[5] she launched her own production company and became internationally syndicated.
Credited with creating a more intimate confessional form of media communication,[14] she is thought to have popularized and revolutionized[14] the tabloid talk show genre pioneered by Phil Donahue,[14] which a Yale study claimed broke 20th century taboos and allowed LGBT people to enter the mainstream.[15] By the mid 1990s she had reinvented her show with a focus on literature, self-improvement, and spirituality. Though criticized for unleashing confession culture and promoting controversial self-help fads, she is generally admired for overcoming adversity to become a benefactor to others.[16] In 2006 she became an early supporter of Barack Obama and one analysis estimates she delivered over a million votes in the close 2008 Democratic primary race,[17] an achievement for which the governor of Illinois considered offering her a seat in the U.S. senate.[18]
