The name “Oprah Winfrey” seems synonymous with the word “inspirational,” whether you’ve been an avid fan since her humble beginnings in the 1980s, or only caught a few episodes of her show while folding laundry. There’s no doubt about it, this woman knows how to talk. But there’s much more Winfrey than television and movie fame, as well as sporadically giving cars away to studio audiences. Here we present, the highlights that helped cement Oprah Winfrey as one of the most famed, powerful and iconic women in the past century. Since the debut of The Oprah Winfrey Show in 1986, Oprah Winfrey has become known as one of the nation’s most influential and powerful voices in mainstream media, a passionate philanthropist and a source of continuous inspiration to fans and comrades in the entertainment industry.  Early into her celebrity, Winfrey made a point to speak out about issues that had been pervading the United States, like verbal, physical and sexual abuse. Winfrey used her fame to inspire victims of abusers to speak out, and also pursued legislation to aid in preventing abuse and protecting victims, including The National Child Protection Act in 1993, signed by President Bill Clinton. Winfrey continued to garner fame for her celebrated talk show, and also wowed critics with her acting talent in films like The Color Purple and The Butler. A place on Winfrey’s couch quickly became the most sought after interview spot for A-List celebrities and even the President of the United States. Through it all, the media queen has remained poised and gracious, and continues to inspire and invite meaningful, open dialogue on her channel OWN, particularly with her show, Oprah’s Next Chapter, where she achieved the seemingly insurmountable feat of making the Kardashians relatable. Winfrey is the quintessence of one who uses her power for good. She’s earned billions, and uses much of her fortune to give back to those less fortunate. Winfrey's accomplishments in life proves her determination to succeed and her generous traits encourage others to be great.

Daniel Day Lewis is a rare performer, who approaches his roles with a high level of scrutiny, often acquiring new skills and putting his body through hell in pursuit of artistic growth. Here’s a list of all the stories about his acting techniques and meticulous preparation for most of his roles. #DanielDayLewis, #DanielDayLewisBiography, #DanielDayLewisMagicalPreparations, Daniel Day Lewis was born in London on April 29, 1957, to Poet Laureate Cecil Day-Lewis and his actress wife. His status as a rising star was confirmed when he landed the movie A Room With A View. This screen breakthrough was followed by the powerful double whammy of The Unbearable Lightness Of Being and My Left Foot. In 1989, nearly 20 years after he first appeared on film as a child vandal in Sunday Bloody Sunday, Daniel received his first Oscar for My Left Foot, based on the real-life story of Christy Brown, an Irish writer, and painter who had cerebral palsy. Daniel was at the top of his game in a trio of well-received films, The Last Of The Mohicans, The Age Of Innocence and In The Name Of The Father. During this time he became a father after actress Isabelle Adjani bore him a son named Gabriel in 1995. His comeback projects this time around – The Boxer and a role alongside Winona Ryder in The Crucible – weren't so well-received. His last departure from the limelight could have become permanent had Age Of Innocence director Martin Scorsese asked Daniel to return to the Hollywood fold to make 2002 flick Gangs Of New York with Leonardo Di Caprio. Since then jobs have been few and far between with only The Ballad Of Jack And Rose making it onto his CV before 2008's BAFTA- and Oscar-winning turn in There Will Be Blood. Three years later after Steven Spielberg’s Lincoln, the film industry started to call him by another title – the greatest actor of all time. Playing Honest Abe had secured him a third Academy Award, making him the first man in history to do so. The actor has now taken retirement from the cinema after the spellbinding Oscar Nomination - Phantom Thread. This is not to say he won't miss the pursuit that has been his life since he was a child. He said, "I’ve been interested in acting since I was 12 years old, and back then, everything other than the theater—that box of light—was cast in shadow. When I began, it was a question of salvation. Now, I want to explore the world in a different way." Despite such accolades, the reluctant icon favors a quiet life. He lives in County Wicklow, Ireland with his wife, writer and director Rebecca Miller – daughter of famed playwright Arthur Miller – and their two sons, Ronan Blake and Cashel Blake.

Here’s a list of all the actors who unfortunately passed away before, after or during the filming of Horror Movies. When we say Horror Movies, there are some classics that instantly come to mind – The Exorcist, Poltergeist, Psycho, The Shining, The Silence of the Lambs , Night of the Living Dead Carrie , Halloween, The Birds, The Omen, Dracula, Nightmare On The Elm Street, Rosemary’s Baby, Scream, Dawn Of The Dead, Evil Dead, The Mummy, Friday The 13th, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, Aliens, Hellraisers, Stephen King’s IT, Saw, The Mist, Suspiria and many more. The horrifying classics are hard to watch, sure, but do you think it is possible for a horror film to be cursed? The mere act of making it evoke some sort of malicious entity hell-bent on inflicting harm to those involved? It sounds pretty silly, I’m well aware, but the truth is that many horror films over the years have seemingly incurred the wrath of an evil force. From bizarre happenings on the set to the supernatural force reportedly following the actors and the crew members to their residence – some Horror Movies have seen it all.

The acceptance of the LGBTQ community has come a long way over the years. And here’s a list of famous gay men who were once married to women, all loosely ranked by fame and popularity. After all, isn't it a miracle when any Hollywood romance stands the test of time? And besides, the details of these relationships are far more interesting than the genders of those involved. For example, one of these men had a sexual awakening after a drunken hookup. Another seemingly struggled with his sexuality his whole life, having at one point been out and proud in the mid-'90s, but then renouncing homosexuality as a sin in his older years. These are the male celebs who left their women for men. Several famous men who have come out as gay have been married to women. While some married before they fully recognized that they were gay, others used their marriages to keep their sexuality a secret from the public. From musicians to actors to politicians, love is the same for all. Celebrities like Elton John, Little Richard, Oscar Wilde, Anthony Perkins, Cole Porter, Alan Cumming and many others fall on this list.

When it comes to love, there is a fluidity that many people are embracing. It’s slowly but surely becoming more acceptable for people to be honest about who they love without having to explain why they love them. While most people have the luxury of doing this in the privacy of their own lives, the celebrities on this list have had to do this in the public eye. While this list is only scratching the surface, here are a few women like Kristen Stewart, Angelina Jolie, Drew Barrymore, Sarah Paulson and many other A-list celebrities, who chose a woman (or a few) over the men that were in their lives. It goes along with the territory of being a public figure. Every few years a new scandal comes out that seems to shock everyone: a female celebrity decides to leave her boyfriend, husband, situation-ship whatever they want to label it as in order to pursue a relationship with a woman. Being in a same-gender relationship is just as hard if not harder than a heterosexual relationship. In addition to the pressures of the relationship, there comes the stares, the comments and the straight up negativity. However, the relationship escapades of many of these female celebrities has made for great tabloid talk and inspired some insane and mostly unrealistic stories about relationships in Hollywood. A lot of people seem to forget that Hollywood is a big place and that there are endless opportunities for love. Many people who don’t feel the need to put a label on what they do with their personal relationships. With this, one thing is for sure. Love clearly sees no gender or age. ___________________________________________________________________________Log On To Our Official Website: http://www.lehren.com Follow Us On: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lehrennetworks Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/LehrenNetworks Twitter: https://twitter.com/LehrenNetworks
