MY NAME IS RICHIE CUNNINGHAM, AND THIS IS MY LOVELY WIFE: Oprah Winfrey will end her talk show in September 2011.
There will be much time, obviously, to quantify and reflect upon her impact on American life -- in commerce, in literature, in spirituality and self-assessment, in reviving the talk show format in the post-Donahue era, in philanthropy, and so on. For now I just want to reflect on what a remarkable life she's had, as Wikipedia clinically summarizes. Seriously, to start from where she was -- to endure what she did growing up -- well, most people don't go from there to known-around-the-world billionaire status. There is so much to admire.
