Gloria Winfrey

The Oprah Winfrey Show came to an end on May 25, 2011, after 25 years on television. Arguably the most influential television personality of all time, Ms. Winfrey and her show have had an impact on American culture that cannot be overstated. This beautifully illustrated book will explore and celebrate the legacy of the show using essays and tributes from a stellar group of contributors including Maya Angelou, Ellen DeGeneres, Toni Morrison, Maria Shriver, Gloria Steinem, John Travolta, and more. The book will feature photographs from the Harpo archive, spanning the 25 years the show has been on the air, including the farewell season. Essays within the book will be dedicated to different themes (e.g., personal growth, social action, and literature) and will explore how the show has touched people’s lives and impacted the conversation around those issues. The essays will be followed by narrative text, which will guide the reader through the history of the show’s involvement with each topic and will include stories about the events, people, and organizations that have acted as touchstones or provided insights along the way. Accompanying the essays and narrative text will be images from the show, behind-the-scenes photographs, as well as signature portraits of the contributing celebrities taken by noted photographers. The book will allow Oprah Winfrey Show fans to understand the broad cultural impact of the show, while revisiting favorite guests, episodes, and stories.

Oprah “You’re my book-club girl, Jocelyn!” Oprah Winfrey announced as Jocelyn Kelley from Marblehead, Mass., approached to say hello. Kelley is still in shock that Oprah recognized her among 302 Oprah fans gathered in Sydney, Australia, for 10 days. Kelley, a book publicist at Kelley & Hall, was inspired by Oprah’s book club enough to start her business and Skype with the host on-air about Oprah’s book-club picks.
