Oprah Winfrey: TV Guide News

Oprah Winfrey
A one-woman (one name, really) entertainment dynasty, and the gold standard in the talk-show genre, able to attract just about any guest, and so influential that her `book club' practically guaranteed that works she endorsed would be bestsellers. Smart and charismatic, the multi-Emmy winner is also self-effacing enough that, after copping the TV academy's Lifetime Achievement Award, she removed herself from more Emmy nods, noting, `after you've achieved it for a lifetime, what else is there?'
  • Oprah Calls for Support of Child Predator Senate Bill | Today's News: Our Take | 9/15/2008
    Oprah Winfrey continued her activist ways on Monday's episode of The Oprah Winfrey Show.The syndicated chatfest's full hour was dedicated to the new Senate bill targeting child predators.The episode, rated TV-14, examined the "true extent and pervasiveness of child pornography trafficking in America" and called for viewer support for PROTECT Our Children Act, U.S. Senate Bill 1738, which has bipartisan support and is currently before the Senate.Winfrey, a victim of child abuse, has long been an advocate of such safeguards. In 1991, she testified to establish a national database of convicted child abusers, which was signed into effect as "The Oprah Law" two years later. In 2005, she created Oprah’s Child Predator Watch List that resulted in the arrest of nine of the featured fugitives. — Joyce EngFor more Oprah, check out our Online Video Guide. read more be the first to leave a comment
