Oprah Winfrey

The Show Must Not Go On

"After
much prayer and months of careful thought, I’ve decided the next
season, season 25, will be the last season of the ‘Oprah Winfrey
Show’," the immensely popular daytime TV host and media sensation Oprah
Winfrey announced Friday morning.

"Here is the real reason — I love this show. This show has been my
life. And I love it enough to know when it’s time to say ‘goodbye.’
Twenty-five years feels right in my bones and it feels right in my
spirit. It’s the perfect number, the exact right time. So I hope you
will take this 18-month ride with me right through to the finale show,"
she said.

No doubt sad news to all of her fans, but she’s had one amazing run!

Star Profile

Born
to a poor family on January 29, 1954, in Mississippi, Oprah was an
extremely bright and independent Aquarian child. When her unmarried
parents split up when she was very young, life was hard – she lived
with her grandmother on a farm with no indoor plumbing and was also
molested by male family members from an early age. The cycle was broken
when Oprah moved in with her father in Nashville, Tennessee, at age 14,
and that same year, she gave birth to a baby boy, who, born two months
premature, died after two weeks.

Thanks to her father’s insistence that hard work and discipline were
the only routes to success, Oprah was able to refocus her life and win
a scholarship to Tennessee State University. While there, she worked as
a radio announcer in Nashville and, after graduation, became a reporter
as well as Nashville’s first female and first black TV-news anchor.

While living in Baltimore, Maryland, between 1976 and 1983, she was
elevated from news anchor to co-host of a popular talk show and was
then coaxed by executives to take over the unsuccessful A.M. Chicago. She moved to the Midwest in 1984, and by September of 1985, Oprah had made the show a hit – it was renamed The Oprah Winfrey Show,
and the rest is history! As the years went by, Oprah dealt with all
kinds of topics on her show, and she gained millions of fans, picking
up dozens of Emmys along the way.

Although there have also been some obstacles along the way in her professional career, The Oprah Winfrey Show has made Oprah a billionaire. Her Oxygen TV network, O magazine, and Angel Network are some of her many successful ventures, and Time
magazine recognized her influence and named her one of the 100 Most
Influential People of the 20th century, not only because of her show
but also because of her charitable efforts – with several chart aspects
in altruistic Aquarius, this is no surprise. Now the only
African-American woman to ever be included on Forbes‘s billionaire list, Oprah has officially overcome her humble beginnings!

And with her Neptune in Libra, she sees no reason to have a traditional
relationship, viewing marriage as unnecessary and old-fashioned.
Long-term beau Stedman Graham has always been by her side, and although
she no doubt relies on him for strength at times, Oprah probably needs very few people in her life in order to feel good about herself.
