Our love for Oprah is based on sheer admiration. She has broken down barriers to become one of the most recognizable and wealthy women in television history (not to mention the entertainment industry). A veritable legend, Oprah continues to empower fans with her talk show and empire. A national success for 17 years (and counting), The Oprah Winfrey Show outdistances all other programs of its kind by connecting with people in a profound way. Winfrey's use of the show to inform the world of numerous "life lessons" has made her one of the most influential people not only in television, but also in society in general. Thanks to her tremendous appeal and many branches of Harpo (her production company), Oprah has become the first African-American female billionaire, but more importantly, a revered figure for all time.

"I cry at least one a day about it." She revealed that she currently has temporary breast expanders in preparation for getting permanent implants in the future. "You are reminded of this thing every day." Applegate also spoke about the difficulty of being pursued by the media while going through her cancer diagnosis and treatment.
