She's been in the entertainment business since she was 19. Starting out in the radio business and working her way up to the queen of the tube.
it's called hard work.
She's been some sort of a celebrity for about 30 years, she's not really "in touch" with the common folk of America, it just looks like it. She does more work with other countries though.

she had a dream.... (can you hear the choir of angels?)
and is she really the most powerful woman in America
i dont think so, she's known, she's rich, but can she stop the war?
no, only the government can do that
she's just a talk show host, theres nothing special about her
put any other woman from the same background in the same situation and the same thing will happen
she was just at the right place at the right time!!
and she wanted it bad enough - she is not a lazy a.s.s

That's the beautiful thing about the United States. You can come from nothing and make yourself into something. That's not the case in most countries. She worked hard to get where she is today.

I think in addition to hard work, intelligence and ambition she also has been very honest and open about her faults in life. Her battle with weight and being abused as a child endear her to the public.
She has been very generous with her money by setting up schools for children, creating reading programs, hospitals, shelters for abused women.

Oprah has always said that her "luck" was a matter of preparation meeting opportunity.

Oprah was never a "regular person". She had grit all along and used it to her advantage.

The woman is intelligent and can read and write fluently! She started writing and reading at about 9 yrs old in her church and was inspired ever since!
