she’s too rich and important to care I’d think.
it wouldn’t matter if her father was don fricking king would it?
I mean Oprah will be Oprah no matter what and let’s be honest . . . we’ve all had the fantasy where we’re Oprah.

I’ve got to admit that I’m intrigued by this! I am estranged from my biological father and I do wonder what Oprah will do a.) now this has been made public and b.) now that her so-called but not biological father Vernon Winfrey has sold her out in Kitty’s book.

I’ve never been a huge Oprah fan though I’ve always admired her charity work so I wasn’t afraid to read the Kitty Kelley book about her and I think after reading it that this man is most likely Oprah’s biological father. The book itself was actually well-written and fair and also very much fact-based and filled with Oprah’s own quotes. It did show that a.) she definitely embellishes a lot of her life and personality and b.) Oprah had some VERY wild pre-teen and teenage years filled with lots of shocking (and some very sad) things I must admit but I think people everywhere pretty much forgive what happens during one’s teenage years so it won’t hurt her image as much as if she had done any of that while over the age of 21. Gayle King and Stedman Graham are mentioned here and there but the book’s shining light to me is the very detailed description throughout of the strategic moves she and her former lawyer Jeff Jacobs made in order to become such a huge success. This book should be a must-read for all those in the fields of business administration/marketing/advertising because she really exhibited not only incredible drive and determination to motivate not only herself and her staff but also executed a steady series of brilliant business moves in order to market, brand, grow and protect her company.
