Oprah Winfrey assembles a star-studded cast for the musical remake of her 1985 film, 'The Color Purple,' including Fantasia Taylor and Danielle Brooks.

It's Alice Walker's, not Oprah's.

Saw Fantasia on Broadway in The Color Purple. She was sooooo good.

Um oh dear,I always thought that was whoopi in that not Oprah

We need her to investigate Diana stage car accident = royal assassination.

Self-centered. She gave us Dr. Oz and Dr. Phil, and not a word of apology.

Oprah gave us Dr. Oz, Dr. Phil, and Trump Oprah is nothing but a billionaire who fleeces the ignorant

It's 2022 and they are still living in slavery and the Jim Crow Era. It's pathetic.
