Hvem daterede Oprah Winfrey?

Oprah Winfrey (født Orpah Gail Winfrey 29. januar 1954) er en amerikansk talkshowvært, filmskuespiller, producer og filantrop.

Hun er bedst kendt for sit talkshow The Oprah Winfrey Show, som var det mest sete tv-program af sin art i USA og blev sendt i hele landet fra 1986 til 2011 fra Chicago, Illinois.

Oprah Winfrey er den rigeste sorte amerikaner, hun var Nordamerikas første sorte multimilliardær og anses for at være den største sorte filantrop i amerikansk historie. Ifølge Forbes Magazine har hun en formue på 2,8 mia. USD. Hun er flere gange blevet kåret som en af verdens meste indflydelsesrige kvinder.

I 2013 blev Winfrey tildelt Presidential Medal of Freedom af præsident Barack Obama.

Oprah Winfrey blev født i fattigdom på landet i Mississippi til en teenagemor, og voksede op i Milwaukee. Hun har fortalt, hun blev udsat for overgreb som barn og i de tidligere teenageår, og hun blev gravid som 14-årige. Barnet døde som spæd.

Allerede mens hun gik i gymnasiet fik hun job på en radiostation, og som 19-årig blev hun vært på aftennyhederne på en lokal station. Hendes personlige, følelsesladede kommentarer førte til at hun blev til et talkshow i dagtimerne. I Chicago overtog hun et talkshow, der herefter blev det mest populære i området. Siden startede hun sit eget produktionsselskab, og hendes eget talkshow blev syndikeret både nationalt og internationalt.

Oprah Winfrey tilskrives at have skabt en mere intim, bekendelses-præget medieret kommunikation, for at have populariseret og revolutioneret den tabloide talkshow-genre, og brugt genren til at bryde med tabuer og give LGBT-personer adgang til mainstreamen.

Hun har bl.a. spillet med i Steven Spielbergs Farven lilla, hvor hun blev nomineret til en Oscar for bedste birolle som Sofia. Hun bor blandt andet i Montecito, Californien. Oprah Winfrey har i 2007 oprettet en pigeskole i Sydafrika og Oprah's Angelnetwork.

I midt-90'erne begyndte hendes talkshow at fokusere på litteratur, selvudvikling og spiritualitet. Hun er blevet kritiseret for at fremme en bekendelseskultur, for at promovere kontroversielle selvhjælpsidéer og for at have en overdrevet følelses-fokuseret tilgang, men hyldes ofte for at overvundet modgang for at blive en velgører for andre. Under det amerikanske primærvalg i 2007 gav Oprah sin støtte til Barack Obama, hvilket gav ham et mindre boost i de efterfølgende meningsmålinger.

Roger Joseph Ebert ( EE-bərt; June 18, 1942 – April 4, 2013) was an American film critic, film historian, journalist, essayist, screenwriter and author. He wrote for the Chicago Sun-Times from 1967 until his death in 2013. Ebert was known for his intimate, Midwestern writing style and critical views informed by values of populism and humanism. Writing in a prose style intended to be entertaining and direct, he made sophisticated cinematic and analytical ideas more accessible to non-specialist audiences. Ebert endorsed foreign and independent films he believed would be appreciated by mainstream viewers, championing filmmakers like Werner Herzog, Errol Morris and Spike Lee, as well as Martin Scorsese, whose first published review he wrote. In 1975, Ebert became the first film critic to win the Pulitzer Prize for Criticism. Neil Steinberg of the Chicago Sun-Times said Ebert "was without question the nation's most prominent and influential film critic," and Kenneth Turan of the Los Angeles Times called him "the best-known film critic in America." Per The New York Times, "The force and grace of his opinions propelled film criticism into the mainstream of American culture. Not only did he advise moviegoers about what to see, but also how to think about what they saw."

Early in his career, Ebert co-wrote the Russ Meyer film Beyond the Valley of the Dolls (1970). Starting in 1975 and continuing for decades, Ebert and Chicago Tribune critic Gene Siskel helped popularize nationally televised film reviewing when they co-hosted the PBS show Sneak Previews, followed by several variously named At the Movies programs on commercial TV broadcast syndication. The two verbally sparred and traded humorous barbs while discussing films. They created and trademarked the phrase "two thumbs up," used when both gave the same film a positive review. After Siskel died from a brain tumor in 1999, Ebert continued hosting the show with various co-hosts and then, starting in 2000, with Richard Roeper. In 1996, Ebert began publishing essays on great films of the past; the first hundred were published as The Great Movies. He published two more volumes, and a fourth was published posthumously. In 1999, he founded the Overlooked Film Festival in Champaign, Illinois.

In 2002, Ebert was diagnosed with cancer of the thyroid and salivary glands. He required treatment that included removing a section of his lower jaw in 2006, leaving him severely disfigured and unable to speak or eat normally. However, his ability to write remained unimpaired and he continued to publish frequently online and in print until his death in 2013. His RogerEbert.com website, launched in 2002, remains online as an archive of his published writings. Richard Corliss wrote, "Roger leaves a legacy of indefatigable connoisseurship in movies, literature, politics and, to quote the title of his 2011 autobiography, Life Itself." In 2014, Life Itself was adapted as a documentary of the same title, released to positive reviews.
