@indiegent Nobody hates Oprah....why are you determined to look for hate where there isn't any?

You can bash her all you want but Oprah is a superb being. Many people have forgotten what its like to be black at her days and a woman. She definitely have encountered a lot of bad things through her journey but she remained a diamond while mostly other would have become a granite haha.

Take away the race card and the woman card and what do we have left of Oprah? Just another lowbrow would-be intellectual.

I met Oprah one day on the set of a movie I was working on called "Sommersby" with Richard Gere, Jodie Foster and James Earl Jones. Having no idea she was on the set, I was in a scene with Jodie on my right and Richard on my left and I looked up and realized I was gazing into the face of Oprah Winfrey. She was looking directly at me, watching the scene unfold. To hug her and speak with her moments later, combined with working on that movie with such amazing people will always be a miracle to me.

@sn1pe352 Wow. Thank you for posting that. Incredibly interesting.

Mary Richards, Barbara Walters = women in news/journalism. one is fiction, one is real. She probably loved watching both and wanted to be like both of them. Is that so hard to fathom? The point is she didn't allow the fact that she wasn't white, have money, or any other obstacle stand in the way of her achieving what may have at the time seemed the impossible.

@TheTubePortal wow I never knew that, you know it's interesting she chose these woman to be like and yet she is so much her own person and so special in her own rite.

[TheTubePortal]

@lbound100 Whenever you have some free time watch some Oprah clips of when she had Mary Tyler Moore on her show or on one of the reunions she did for the cast. In them she says in more than one episode that she always wanted to be Mary Richards, that she used to dress like her, make her hair the same way, act like her, and wanted to work in a newsroom like WJM and was sad when she found out that WJM wasn't a real station. In them she says that Mary was her inspiration rather than Mrs. Walters.

[lbound100]

@TheTubePortal Hmm I've never heard her say that, she has alway's talked about Barbara Walters as being her inspiration from the time she was 19 and offered a news anchor job.

[TheTubePortal]

I wonder why she says here that she wanted to be like Barbara Walters because in several other interviews she has said that she wanted to be like Mary Tyler Moore's character of Mary Richards and that THAT was what motivated her. (Mary rather than Barbara).

Oprah is not full of herself like Barbara is! She is very arrogant, and cold as ice!
