Toni Morrison was less than impressed with Oprah's methodology

, told a story about the lengths the legendary talk show host had to go to in order to track down the Nobel laureate.into a film but she didn’t have Toni’s phone number," Greenfield-Sanders explained. "So the only way of tracking her down was for her to get in touch with [Morrison’s] local fire department.”

While most would be flattered by the media mogul's dedication, Morrison who died in August of last year, was less than impressed. Greenfield-Sanders continued, “The best part is, when Toni answered the phone, her initial reaction was not excitement. Toni asked [Oprah], ‘How did you get my number?’ ” The pair were able to get past this initial froideur, however, and Winfrey went on to star in the highly-acclaimed 1998 adaptation of Morrison's 1987 novelAlthough the experience probably made the author think twice before sharing her contact information with any public safety department ever again.
