Media proprietor, talk show host, actress, producer and philanthropist — photos, style and news
Oprah Gail Winfrey (born January 29, 1954) is an American media proprietor, talk show host, actress, producer, and philanthropist. Winfrey is best known for her multi-award-winning talk show The Oprah Winfrey Show, which was the highest-rated program of its kind in history and was nationally syndicated from 1986 to 2011. She has been ranked the richest African-American of the 20th century and the greatest black philanthropist in American history, and she is also, according to some assessments, the most influential woman in the world. Apparel Search has selected Oprah Winfrey as a fashion celebrity: a person with celebrity status who is often watched and judged for what she wears, and whose daily presence on television made her wardrobe part of the program's conversation for twenty-five seasons.
Most profiles in this directory are watched at events — premieres, award shows, tours. Winfrey's fashion presence worked differently: a nationally syndicated talk show, on air every weekday from 1986 to 2011, put her in front of the same audience in a new outfit every day for twenty-five years. The Oprah Winfrey Show was the highest-rated program of its kind in history, so that wardrobe accumulated an exposure no red-carpet career can match, and it is the reason a talk show host holds a letter of this directory on her own.
This page gathers Oprah Winfrey photos, videos, news and blog posts, with search routes to each. The O letter contains no other profile, so readers browsing the alphabet should continue to N — Naomi Campbell, Naomi Watts, Natalie Portman, Natasha Bedingfield, Nicky Hilton and Nicole Kidman — or forward to P and R, whose cross-references from this page include Pamela Anderson, Paris Hilton, Penelope Cruz, Nicole Kidman and Reese Witherspoon. The record behind the profile is the one summarized in the guide: media proprietor, talk show host, actress, producer and philanthropist, and by some assessments the most influential woman in the world.
