P ioneers of Entertainment
TV shows and movies have been around for many
years. However , the ways people watch movies and
connect with TV personalities have drastically changed
over the years.
Opr ah Winf r ey
Her face and name are everywhere—she is in
commercials and movies, on magazine and book covers,
and on TV shows. Oprah Winfrey is one of the most
iconic entertainment personalities in recent history .
Winfrey started her broadcasting career in
Nashville, T ennessee, when she was still a high school
student. By the time she was 19, she was the youngest
anchor at her news station in Nashville. Winfrey was
also the f irst African American woman to be an anchor
at that station.
In 1984, Winfrey hosted a morning talk show in
Chicago. It quickly became the most watched local
talk show in the city . The show was renamed The Oprah
Winfrey Show less than a year later .
A S tar I s Born
Oprah Winfrey was born in
Mississippi on Januar y 29, 1954.
Her parents named her Orpah,
after a woman in the Bible. That
name was hard to say and spell,
so ever yone called her Oprah.
