California Loves Oprah

Oprah Winfrey has interviewed hundreds of celebrities throughout her illustrious career, leading to close friendships, and creating a large fan base in Hollywood. In 1998, Oprah was voted the most admired women in America. Julia Roberts, Jennifer Anniston and John Travolta are just a few of Hollywood’s A-list actors who call themselves both fans of Oprah, and Oprah’s friends.

Jennifer Aniston and Oprah became friends following Jen’s divorce from Brad Pitt. Ms. Aniston says that Oprah is true to herself, unbelievably giving, and loved by many.

In 2006, Julia Roberts had been married for three short years, when it was reported that she and her husband Danny Moder were fighting over the amount of time Julia was working. Allegedly, Julia turned to her friend Oprah for advice. Julia and Oprah remain friends and Julia has appeared on the Oprah Winfrey show many times, even revealing the first photo of her third Child Henry on The Oprah Winfrey show.

When Oprah turned 50, many of Oprah’s Hollywood friends, including John Travolta, surprised her with a live TV birthday special. John gave a toast to Oprah that left most of the studio audience, and many watching at home, in tears. The toast showed how much he adores Oprah. He talked about what an inspiration Oprah is to America, her incredible charity work, and how she lifts the country up, free of judgment.

Oprah loves Hollywood and it seems Hollywood loves Oprah. Her authenticity has drawn California fans, including the rich and glamorous Hollywood elite.
