“What is important to me in this entire year and the conclusion of this show is not me,” Oprah says. “What is important is the message that this show and the platform of the show has represented to the culture. What I am most proud of are the lives that we have touched and the people we have impacted…” So, Oprah’s fine with the surprise show…as long as it does that. Celebrates The Oprah Winfrey Show.
Star-studded, musical, thousands of people…and hard to keep from Oprah. So, this is really Harpo’s love letter to Oprah to give to her what she has given to the rest of the world. Tom Hanks, the first call made and we have confirmation. “Tom would love to do it…he wants it to be fun…he’s all in,” Cindy Mori tells us. “Tom Hanks hosting an hour…right off the bat, you’re in homerun city,” Sheri tells us. “But Tom is coming to the Oprah Show so he needs to be aware, Oprah’s looking for clues,” Sheri says. Shhhh…Tom, Oprah’s looking for GOLD and by gold we mean information.
As Amy Coleman, Supervising Producer and Candi Carter meet with Oprah, they go over the pre-meeting stuff about the Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts coming to the Show. Julia has been on 20 times. Tom only 13…but Tom wins numerous awards. “The biggest laugh of my life with Tom Hanks. He also has the best dinner parties in the world. Tom’s the best dinner party guest, the one you want to be seated next to at a dinner party…the best dinner parties of anyone in the world,” Oprah tells us. Here’s the fun…Julia wants to give away some favorite things…HOW fun is that! [read more…]

Inspiration is quite possibly the greatest gift that we can give to our children. The ability to inspire creativity, enthusiasm and hope into someone who later will go on to breathe the same into others. It can come in any form…something you witness, a book, music, blogs, photos, nature, art…but when asked most people will tell you their inspiration comes from people and usually that person is their own mother. In the Oprah Winfrey Network’s Documentary “Extraordinary Moms”, Julia Roberts introduced six mothers that have breathed inspiration not only into their children, but into countless others. Whether famous or not, each mother knew just how important it was to inspire themselves and others.
The show began with Christiane Amanpour, news anchor, well known war correspondent and mother. When trouble broke-out around the world, there always seemed to be a common thread….Amanpour was there. She became our trusted source that brought the world home to us. However, once she had her son, her life changed. Although she loved being a world correspondent, she loved being a mother more. She quickly learned that once you become a mom, all bets are off. Christiane recognized “if you are lucky, you can have it all, but I still don’t believe you can have it all at the same time…something has to give”. For her this meant becoming more careful about her selections in the field and the level of danger she was willing to face. Growing up, her parents always encouraged her to dream big…that a woman can do anything! They allowed her to be her own person…something she believed was important to pass on to her son. Standing in a room full of accolades, Christiane boasts that her proudest achievement was being a mother…”not that I would have known that before” becoming a mom.
