Oprah Winfrey
Part of the reason Oprah Winfrey was able to become a talk show maven with millions of devoted daily viewers was her ability to relate to her guests and her audience. Always an open book herself, Winfrey has spoke about a traumatic time in her childhood where she was attacked. Just nine years old, “The Color Purple” star was raped by an older cousin. Winfrey revealed that the experience caused her to be promiscuous as a teen.
