"Winfrey sold her body to earn extra money and has even described herself as a teen "prostitute."

Well that would be worth two bits with cup of coffee thrown in. ;-)

Winfrey was born in Kosciusko, Miss.

I may have to change my FReeper name.

* She went to great lengths to conceal her "lesbian affairs" -- including hefty payoffs -- and publicly attached herself to Graham to appear more normal to her audience of housewives.

And the reason she wears brown contact lenses to disguise her green eyes?

No wonder why Gail King had that stupid smile.

she was so impoverished that she never had any new dresses or dolls and had to adopt two cockroaches as pets, naming them Melinda and Sandy.

She was so poor, she could barely pay attention.

None of this surprises me. I’ve always felt with Oprah there is no “there” there. No core. Her show is a mirror of her - looking for something, no real foundation, touchy feely love me nonsense. And at the center of it all is a steely brain who does what it takes to make money.

I’ve always felt she was gay. I’ve always felt she exaggerated her past. I never believed she was abused or really poor. She always struck me as a wild child, like the women on the bride shows that come out in a beautiful dress, saying, “Look at me! I’m a bride and SO beautiful!”

I’ve always held that important cultural figures are not necessarily good, or nice, but people who are good businessmen, have an innovative way of using technology, and whose inner essence happens to be in accord with the public’s rising mood and style. They catch a wave and cash in, doing what is natural to them. Disney. Spielberg. Oprah. Rush.

Do I care? Enough to read the article. Not any more than that. I don’t respect or dislike her. She is what she is. She makes people happy. She’s inherently dishonest. She’s a showman. Didn’t watch her before, won’t now.

Good grief..she must be exhauste keeping all those balls in the air.

If she drops one the whole thing comes crumbling down.

But all the fools that bought the hype should feel happy they made her rich.

Hi all:

[i]Winfrey was born in Kosciusko, Miss., in 1954, and, the way she likes to tell it, she was so impoverished that she never had any new dresses or dolls and had to adopt two cockroaches as pets, naming them Melinda and Sandy.[/i]

Never been a fan of Oprah’s, but I question the statement above. I was also born in 1954 and distinctly remember Oprah Winfrey hosting Baltimore TV’s ‘Million Dollar Movie” on WBAL or WJZ in the afternoons of the mid and late 1960s when I was a kid.

Something strange there.

Jack.

Kosciusko was a nice town in 1954. Neighbors still helped and cared for one another. Doubt anyone suffered too much or did without.
