2. No other name in Hollywood shines as bright as the name Oprah Winfrey.
Before all the success were years of struggle and various walls she had to work to break down. As she was starting off on television, she received backlash for her looks, for her skin color, for her curly hair, and for her overweight body. She was a career woman who found no interest in having her own children. The were all things about Oprah Winfrey that made her, at first, an unappealing and controversial character.
At the age of 3, she could already recite poems. At the age of 17, she was offered an on-air job at WVOL, a radio station rving the African American community in Nashville, where she continued to work through the beginnings of her college years. She won a full scholarship in Tenne State University where she majored in Speech Communications and Performing Arts. After finishing her degree, she signed on with a local TV station, and from there on out, things started looking up for her.
Word of her talent in hosting got around, and eventually she was invited to host a program on WLS-TV. In less than a year, ratings picked up, and AM Chicago became one of the most popular programs in the area. In September 1985, the program was renamed The Oprah Winfrey Show. Her show began airing nationally in 1986, and since then, she has started veral shows, built her own network, and published her own magazine. With this powerhou performer working around the clock, she did more than just break a glass ceiling or a racial barrier. She built a media empire from the ground up.
Influential, powerful, independent, lf-made-the are typically the words that come to mind when people attempt to describe her. If there can only be one word to describe Oprah Winfrey, it's “determined”.
