Happy Birthday Oprah

Enjoy some Oprah facts:

-When starting kindergarten, Oprah wrote a note to the teacher insisting she should be allowed to skip the grad. The kindergarten teacher agreed. After skipping kindergarten and finishing first grade, she was skipped ahead to third grade.

-At the young age of 14, Oprah gave birth to a baby boy who died two weeks later, due to complications.

-After receiving the 1998 Lifetime Achievement award at the Daytime Emmys, she withdrew herself and her show from further consideration.

-Oprah's name was originally listed as 'Orpah' after a character in the Book of Ruth but some had difficulty pronouncing the name so the spelling was eventually changed.
