Do you remember when the letter "O" was simply the 15th letter in the alphabet?
Well, today when you hear that letter, you have to admit it only really means only one thing... OPRAH.
Yep, Oprah Winfrey, the most powerful media figure and philanthropist in the world.
She's an icon, a pioneer, a phenomenon, and above all else - an inspiration to millions.
From her impoverished roots in rural Mississippi to her two decade reign as the host and supervising producer of the top-rated, award-winning 'The Oprah Winfrey Show', Oprah has become one of the most respected and admired public figures today.
Her global reach today includes 'O, The Oprah Magazine', 'OWN: The Oprah Winfrey Network', 'Oprah's Book Club', 'Oprah's Life Class', the 'Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls' in Johannesburg', and her company's film division 'Harpo Films'.
George interviewed the media maven on stage in three cities - Edmonton, Calgary and Vancouver - as part of Oprah Winfrey's Canadian tour 2013.
