Answer:
Oprah Winfrey spent several decades as the host of her own highly rated syndicated talk show. She was one of the first black women to become successful as the host of the talk program, and after retiring from syndicated talk, she focused on operating her own TV network, called OWN (the Oprah Winfrey network). She also became known for her philanthropy, and her Book Club introduced a number of authors to a wider audience.
