Oprah Gail Winfrey, , , /ˈoʊpɹə ɡeɪl ˈwɪnfɹi/ communément appelée Oprah, née le 29 janvier 1954 à Kosciusko , est une animatrice et productrice américaine de télévision et de cinéma, actrice, critique littéraire et éditrice de magazines. Elle est surtout connue pour son talk show The Oprah Winfrey Show produit par sa propre société Harpo Productions basée à Chicago. Son talk show a gagné plusieurs prix, et est devenu le programme le plus vu dans l'histoire de la télévision jusqu'à son dernier épisode le 25 mai 2011. Oprah est également actrice, elle a été nommée aux Oscars. Elle a été classée la personnalité afro-américaine la plus riche du XXe siècle, l'Afro-américaine la plus philanthrope de tous les temps, et est la milliardaire noire la plus riche dans le monde,,,,. Selon le magazine Forbes, elle est la deuxième fortune de l'industrie du divertissement.

Elle est généralement considérée comme ayant popularisé et révolutionné le genre du talk show people lancé par Phil Donahue. Au milieu des années 1990, elle a réinventé son talk show pour se concentrer sur la littérature, le développement personnel, la spiritualité, et la méditation. Malgré les critiques sur la culture de la confession publique qu'elle a initiée et l’apologie des combines, elle est généralement admirée pour avoir surmonté l'adversité et être devenue une philanthrope.

En France, elle s'est surtout fait connaître par l'interview événement qu'elle a réalisée avec Michael Jackson en janvier 1993, au domicile de ce dernier en Californie. Elle a aussi fait parler d'elle lors d'un scandale contre l'enseigne Hermès, la boutique parisienne lui ayant refusé l'accès, un quart d'heure avant la fermeture.

En 2006, elle est devenue un soutien de la première heure de Barack Obama. Une analyse a estimé qu'elle a permis l'obtention de plus d’un million de voix dans la course primaire des démocrates de 2008, un succès pour lequel le gouverneur de l'Illinois a envisagé de lui offrir un siège au Sénat des États-Unis. Elle aurait gagné 315 millions de dollars sur la période 2009-2010. Wikipedia

Oprah Winfrey: Citations en anglais

“You cannot blame apartheid, your parents, your circumstances, because you are not your circumstances. You are your possibilities. If you know that, you can do anything.”

O Magazine (January 2007), pages 160 & 217
Contexte: What I learned at a very early age was that I was responsible for my life. And as I became more spiritually conscious, I learned that we all are responsible for ourselves, that you create your own reality by the way you think and therefore act. You cannot blame apartheid, your parents, your circumstances, because you are not your circumstances. You are your possibilities. If you know that, you can do anything.

“I feel like my soul is aching for the country.”

Interview on Entertainment Tonight, as quoted in "Oprah Winfrey Offers Words of Wisdom in Wake of Deadly Las Vegas Shooting", KTVB (2 October 2017) http://www.ktvb.com/article/entertainment/entertainment-tonight/oprah-winfrey-offers-words-of-wisdom-in-wake-of-deadly-las-vegas-shooting-exclusive/480587423
Contexte: I feel like my soul is aching for the country. … There's not a day that goes by where I'm not putting on my shoes, or brushing my teeth, where I just think about the ordinariness of, people who just went to a concert, or the ordinariness of the day from people from 9/11, who were just doing an ordinary thing, and then you never get home. … So, I would say that these days of crisis and tragedy are to remind us all to be present in the ordinariness of our lives, that actually turns out to be extraordinary, when the person you love doesn't come home at night.
I pay attention to things, you know? … This is to make us all more awakened about our own life, and the fact that it shows up this way is a horror. But, as I heard someone say, seeing people coming together, helping each other — whether it's this crisis we're in or what we saw weeks ago in, in Houston, in Florida, and now in Puerto Rico — it shows the humanity of us all. So, it's an opportunity to show the best of ourselves, when the worst shows up.

“What is the secret to the success of the show?”

"Oprah Winfrey Show Finale" in CBS (25 May 2011)
Contexte: People often ask me: "What is the secret to the success of the show?" "How it lasted 25 years?" I none jokingly say: "My team and Jesus", because nothing but the Hand of God has made this possible for me. For all of you who get railed up when I mentioned God and you wanna know which God am I talking about, I am talking about the same one you talk about, I am talking about the Alpha and Omega, the Omniscience, the Unprecedented, the Ultimate Consciousness, the Source, the Force, the all of everything that is, The One and Only G-O-D, that's what I am talking about...
