OPRAH WINFREY DIES AT 54
Tragic Accident Leaves Oprah Dead
CHICAGO Ill.- Oprah Gail Winfrey passed away February 14, 2008, at age 54. Oprah was on her way home from filming around 3:30 yesterday when an adoring crowd of fans mobbed her and she suffocated. Many around the world mourn her loss and she will be greatly missed.
Oprah was born January 29, 1954, in Kosciusko, Mississippi. Though she grew up in rough conditions, Oprah decided at an early in life to make something of herself. At age 19, Oprah got her start in life working as a reporter for a radio station in Nashville. She continued to move up in her career as a talk show host for “People are Talking”, and later was sent to Chicago to start her own show called “A.M. Chicago”. Finally in 1986, the “Oprah Winfrey Show” began and she was at the peak of her career.
Film, radio, magazine, book clubs. You name it, Oprah has done it. Along with her own talk show, she began the Oprah Winfrey book club, “O” magazine, and an online newsletter millions have prescribed to. Her talk show has won several Emmy Awards and her acting in the film “The Color Purple” gave her an Oscar nomination. Oprah was determined to use the media to better the live of people, particularly women.
Though Oprah lived the life of a celebrity, she was a very humble and giving woman. She inspired people everywhere through her efforts. Her down to earth personality and big heart has changed so much of the world for the better. Oprah was recently awarded the 2007 Humanitarian Award by The Elie Wiesel Foundation for Humanity, and received several other humanitarian awards throughout her life. After living through such a traumatizing childhood of rape and molestation, Oprah proposed to congress the “National Child Protection Act” , an act to create a nationwide database of convicted child abusers. Oprah was a legend, one whose efforts continue to bless the lives of others daily.
Oprah is survived by her father, Vernon Winfrey and mother, Vernita Lee.
