Oprah enrolled in Tennessee State University in 1971. I believe she actually started her career in broadcasting at 19 when she was still in high school and never looked back.

Just a brief synopsis since everyone else hit on it in different posts........

Orpah Winfrey is the most successful female talk show host in American TV history. She went into broadcasting in the early 1970s; after anchoring and reporting TV news in Nashville, Tennessee and Baltimore, Maryland, she landed a job on the morning show of A.M. Chicago in 1984. The next year she made her movie debut in The Color Purple (based on the Alice Walker book) and was nominated for an Oscar. In 1986 she launched The Oprah Winfrey Show, a TV talk show which featured celebrity interviews and discussions of social issues. The show was a smash hit and within a decade she was one of the richest women in the United States. "Oprah's Book Club," a feature of her show highlighting new books, became famous for its ability to create bestsellers. In 2000 she launched her own lifestyle magazine, O.
Extra credit: Winfrey launched the career of relationship specialist Dr. Phil, who became famous while making regular guest appearances on her show Oprah also produces and owns his show... Oprah's production company is named Harpo Productions -- "Oprah" spelled backwards.

Oprah is a kind of serious singing that started in Europe. You can sample Verdi, Mozart, and other operas like The Barber of Seville, The Marriage of Figaro, and others. You might like it better than today's music.

She tapes her show in Chicago. And, she doesn't like Ice Cube because he is a rapper. But, she and David Letterman made up although both say they never were in a fight even though the Star magazine says they were.

Opera refers to a dramatic art form, originating in Italy, in which the emotional content or primary entertainment is conveyed to the audience as much through music, both vocal and instrumental, as it is through the lyrics.
