“Oprah Winfrey: The Life of a Media Superstar” by Gary Jeffrey, Terry Riley (Illustrator)

Oprah was actually named 'Orpah' on her birth certificate. It has been mispronounced since as 'Oprah'. (p7)

“Just cannot imagine how that must feel .. excuse me a moment.” - Oprah
“Is Oprah crying on camera?” - TV producer (p28)

A brief overview of the life and times of a famous presenter.

I found some of this book interesting, but it lacked depth.

Reading time around thirty minutes.

This book was about Oprah Winfreys life and what she has gone through in here life.I rate this book a five because i could relate to some things that she was saying. I would recommend this book to people that want to no more about Oprahs life and how long and hard it was to become the most richest woman in the world.
