In 1985, Oprah starred in Steven Spielberg’s “Purple Color”. The painting is based on a book by Alice Walker, telling the story of a young girl who was raped and beaten first by her stepfather, and then her husband.
Oprah also made the famous public appeal to Rihanna, urging the singer to break off relations with her then boyfriend Chris Brown, after he violently beat her.
Unfortunately, after the death of the first child, Oprah can no longer have children. But the actress is not discouraged and believes that the girls from the Africa’s Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls created by her were sent to her to become daughters.
Winfrey herself says about all this: “I never had children and never thought to have. Now I have 152 daughters, I expect that there will be 75 more next year. It is like a kind of pregnancy. I told their grandmothers, mothers, members of their families (some girls lost their families): “Your daughters are now my daughters, and I promise you to take care of them”.
Future plans for Oprah to live near her girls when she retires. Winfrey plans to live in her university campus.
