Why is Oprah Biography so Great?

Tennessee State University and Oprah Winfrey

Oprah Biography starts Born January 29, 1954 in Kosciusko, Mississippi, Oprah Winfrey was reared by her grandmother Hattie Mae on a rural poverty farm where she "began her broadcasting career" by learning to read aloud and perform recitations at the age of three. Oprah Winfrey grandmother had said that ever since Winfrey could talk, she was "on stage". In her youth she played games interviewing her corncob doll and the crows on the fence of her family's property. But her true media career began at age 17, when Winfrey worked at a local radio station while attending Tennessee State University. From age six to 13, she lived in Milwaukee with her mother. After suffering abuse and molestation, she ran away and was sent to a juvenile detention home at the age of 13, only to be denied admission because all the beds were filled. As a last resort, she was sent to Nashville to live under her father's strict discipline. Vernon Winfrey saw to it that his daughter met a midnight curfew, and he required her to read a book and write a book report each week. "As strict as he was," says Oprah, "he had some concerns about me making the best of my life, and would not accept anything less than what he thought was my best."
