Since 2004,Time magazine has six times made a survey to name the l00 most influential people in the world. Only one person has appeared on it for six times, Oprah Winfrey.
Born in l954 in Mississippi,Oprah Winfrey spent her early years living in poverty with her grandmother and later her absent mother, followed by unfair treatment by her unfriendly relatives. Worse still,she was addicted to drugs and at the young age of l4,she gave birth to a baby, who died after a few months. Finally she was sent to live with her strict father in Tennessee. Amazingly though,her father’s rules did make sure she received a good education and finally overcame her problems.
Oprah’s media career began at age l7.She became the co-author of local news in Baltimore in her early 20’s.Her first local talk show, People Are Talking, was first performed in l978,when she was 24.
In l986,Oprah moved to Chicago to host a low-rated half-hour morning talk show, AM Chicago. Oprah talks like a family member in your and my house. Within months she took over,the show became the highest rated talk show in Chicago. It was renamed The Oprah Winfrey Show.
Only two years after hosting the show, she was able to set up her own production company Harpo, and buy the full rights to The Oprah Winfrey Show. She is also involved in magazine publishing,books,education and a lifestyle channel for women with the aim of improving people’s lives, inspiring and praising good honest values,making the world a better place for present and future generations.
