Editor's Note
When Oprah Winfrey launched her Chicago-based television talk show in 1986, little did the American public know that the formerly impoverished Mississippi native would go on to become a hugely successful, one-woman entertainment industry with the power to shape the American cultural landscape. While early episodes of THE OPRAH WINFREY SHOW followed a Phil Donahue-style exploration of sensationalistic social issues, Oprah eventually transformed her series into a more positive, spiritually uplifting experience marked by book clubs, celebrity interviews, self-improvement segments, and philanthropic forays into world events. This collection celebrates THE OPRAH WINFREY SHOW's 20th anniversary with a selection of the series' most memorable moments. Oprah herself introduces the clips and shares her thoughts on favorite segments, guests, and surprises, including her famous weight-loss episode, her Christmas Kindness trip to South Africa, and the episode in which every audience member received a new car. The collection also includes never-before-seen footage from Oprah's early days, a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the show, and revealing interviews with John Travolta, Julia Roberts, Halle Berry, Michael J. Fox, Madonna, and the Judds. One hundred percent of the proceeds will be donated to Oprah's Angel Network, which works to improve the lives of women and children around the world.
