How Did She Conquer the Americans?
African-American talk show queen Oprah Winfrey is the world’s most powerful celebrity, according to Forbes magazine.(46).
Winfrey, 51, draws 30 million viewers weekly in the United States. Her talk show reaches 112 countries. She earned US$225 million over the past 12 months to rank second in celebrity riches.

Winfrey’s work has extended to social change.(50).
She testified before the US Senate to establish a national database of dangerous child abusers. President Bill Clinton later signed "Oprah Bill" into law.
A But it also looks at the celebrity’s presence on the Internet and in the media.
B In 1991, she did a lot of work for the National Child Protection Act.
C She was not a very successful woman.
D She began broadcasting while still at high school.
