* Oprah Winfrey, the young reporter
“Talk show queen” Oprah Winfrey was born in Kosciusko, Mississippi. Her grandmother taught her to read before the age of three and took her to the local church, where she was nicknamed “The Preacher” for her ability to recite Bible verses. Winfrey was self-helping her way to the top. Arriving at a radio station to collect a watch she had won through a contest, a 16-year-old Winfrey read for producers and secured herself a job as an on-air reporter earning $100 per week.
