I feel like it should be Whooping instead of Gayle. How come no one ever says anything about Whoopi she was the main character.
I LOVE Their Relationship. If only we all had a BESTIE like each of these two have. HAPPY FOR THEM BOTH
Yeah my mom has one !!!!
My grand ma as well ....
It's very important for a woman to have that and am so happy for both of them !!!!!!!!❤❤❤
Was thinking the same thought.
I have heard Oprah talk about how her legacy is every life she has touched. She can certainly count my life amongst that list. Thank you Oprah.
Can she remember the people she has taken advantage of?
I remember being in Chicago when Oprah was up for an Oscar. I saw movie posters for "The Color Purple" that said "starring Chicago's own Oprah Winfrey!" Chicago was very proud of you, Oprah!
Omg Gayle is the best friend ever!!!! She loves and cheers for Oprah so wholeheartedly!!! You can tell it's genuine. What a wonderful human being.
Of course it's genuine. Gayle has benefitted greatly off Oprah. Emhand gifted the editor position at O, then started her own yv career off Oprah's name? She'll definitely keep cheering.
She better stay friends to stay relevant and get them exclusive interviews with the VIP's
Yes their in love they are a couple Gayle left her husband for Oprah!!!!
I could listen to Oprah and Gayle talk all day long. Such a beautiful friendship, and also so much wisdom and humor.
I wish i had what Oprah has in a friendship
The book was so, so good. I remember slowly walking down the street, heading to the park while reading the book when I bumped into a guy on the sidewalk. He asked, “Is it good?” I smiled at the handsome stranger, and said, “Yes! I can’t seem to put it down.” He was interested in reading it too so I shared a bit about it and suggested he pick it up immediately. I can still remember that sweet, bright smile of his. I should have given him my number. 😂
ALREADY purchased The Color Purple movie tickets--I'M SO EXCITED, can't wait ! 👍💜
Taraji has a every right to talk about experience in the industry good or bad. I can't wait to see her sing and act. I was so proud to find out that she is directing and a producer. ❤
It’s amazing how well Gail knows her and how well she remembers all of her stuff. It’s like both of the vision it’s beautiful.
What a visionary and hard worker Oprah is. What a life of inspiration and a life well lived. Congratulations Oprah on a great life!
Are you a Publicist?!
Oprah wants black people to kiss the ring...especially black women...some won't...did you notice no one went on the Tamron Hall Show...I guess she did not kiss the ring
@@seavista4810 Good question
@@PanAfricanist-ct3we Thanks for your feedback. But I cannot in good faith Say that I know for sure why she didn't go to Tamron's show. However, one thing I know for sure. .. is that Us Humans are not just one thing. There's so much that defines and influences person/peeps....
lol Oprah underpants black actresses, she’s evil
This is my favorite story of Oprah’ many interesting/ inspiring stories… I share it with others as much as I can ; this story is really Huge…
Love you Oprah & love the OG bond 💕💕💕
This is an example of a true friendship. At this point, they are sisters!
During that time, Oprah was so authentic, witty and brilliant; she also had a love of reading. She was destined to be an successful icon in so many ways. I just love her!💜❤💛
How why this isn’t done with Whoopi?? The Color purple is about Ceily’s story. I just wish those two would be the ones to promote the movie.
I LITERALLY scrolled down to see if ANYONE else thought the same thing. The fact that Whoopi has not been included in this is the BIGGEST 🚩🚩🚩
Personally, I think it Whoopi’s choice. She’s in the movie after all. Maybe they didn’t want to spoil that cameo.
Whoopi is actually in the new movie
Where is Whoopi?
This is Oprah Daily. Whoopi is at The View.
That's so cool. Oprah was an original CZcams Content Creator without CZcams, cellphone camera, etc!! Walking along the streets of Chicago offering the Book, and/or feedback if they'd already read the book - gotta love the Universe!!
Love Gayle & Oprah's relationship! I was born in the 90's, so I can't confirm that I only heard of the Color Purple because of Oprah (it always seemed to be present, plus the book was required reading in school). Althouh, can we have a moment of silence for how amazing of a friend Gayle is?! That is what true friendship is . I think we all deserve at least one person in our lives that will love us so much that they will be our cheerleader! Beautiful to see!
I love their true sista relationship! Black excellence indeed!!❤❤❤❤
So Amazing to share A Phenomenal Book with others from the beginning and brought this story to the 🎉Big silver screen🎉 Twice 😊 . This is a profound Conversation with best Friends on how this wonderful journey came to pass. Continued success forever, Because Purple is the reason for the season. Dr.Dixon♥️♥️♥️
I'm so excited, and thank you for sharing. Many More Blessings & Prosperity to you Both
Real besties. I miss mines. Good show ladies🎉
She should have Whoopi on there. And Shug.
Thank you ladies❤️🙏
I get the enthusiasm but it's crazy that Whoopi Goldberg never gets to be associated with this movie
Soooo crazy!!!!
I saw and loved the first The Color Purple; I saw the traveling Broadway production ~ and Loved it. And Christmas night, I saw the newest production of this wonderful movie and LOVED IT! Thank you Oprah for all you do!!
Love listening to them recount their experiences! Their friendship is so lovely. 🥰
One of the BEST Iconic movies ever! I love you both, and Oprah, I named my cat Harpo, lol.
I love when Oprah and Gayle get together and chat. I have one question. Where is Danny Glover??? I haven't seen him in awhile.
OMG❣️ I Love to see the both of you together chit chatting away. You crack me up. Sending Love and Hugs❤️🤗🦋
Oprah, Please remake The Wiz and hire Fatima as the choreographer again. I think this would be a great remake, reimagined film as well.
Just stopping by to say that I love Oprah Daily ❤
At first I thought it was a fan account, but then it continue to come up so much cool content that I thought it might be her own brand and sure it was 😂❤
I thought it was Whoopie and Stephen Goldberg's movie 😮 and yes Gayle better stay friends with Oprah to stay relevant
Getting my purple on Christmas day!.❤❤😊😊
So looking forward to seeing this movie!!! I have to wait until January 25 to see it here in Australia 😢
Awesome can't wait...Thanks Oprah & Gayle..You both on my Bucket list to meet some Day..I turned 70 a few weeks Ago..Lady O ..I beat you by a month entering this chapter of my Life..Thanks Ladies for Always be so on top of Your Game I can't wait to see The Movie..Much Love ❤❤❤
Oprah you never give Alice Walker credit you have hijacked the original story and branded it like its yours👎🏽👎🏽
Fyi the streets think Whoopi as Celie was just as good as you as Sophia if not better 💯
Not true. Do your research. She has repeatedly been quoted stating, “it was about understanding that ‘Color Purple’ is a sacred text.” And, “I went back to the oracle herself, Alice Walker’s text.” Oprah has given Alice Walker credit for her career. We all know that Alice Walker won a Pulitzer Prize for the ‘Color Purple’. She then sold the rights for Menlo Meyjes do write the 1985 screenplay and Brenda Russell et al the Broadway play and now Marcus Gardley for the 2023 adaptation. Alice Walker was praised at the debut and during the run of the musical and she and her daughter are Executive Producers of the 2023 production. It’s all there in black and white and on film for you to see. Just because YOU didn’t see doesn’t mean the support doesn’t exist.
😂 I love the 'behind the scenes' stuff they tell abt the first movie!!! 🥰
BEYOND BEAUTIFUL PRICELESS THATS WHAT REAL FRIENDS LOOK LIKE.. 💜💜💜💜🔥🔥🔥
TILL LIFE Oprah and Gail 💪🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🥰🥰😍😍🌹
I’m sorry but the writer of the Color Purple is the genius, godmother, brilliance of this work.
Agreed. Oprah acknowledges Alice Walker very often. I’m thankful she shared this story with the world.
Don’t watch the Colour Purple while on magic mushrooms.
The most funniest thing ever 😂😂😂
Oprah was hilarious!!😂
Whoopi was too much 😂😂
The movie should have won Best Picture!!!
❤❤❤❤I'm Going THANKS Ms. Oprah
I am so looking forward to watching the movie on December 25th. 😍
I Love Thiss
Beautiful Friendship!!!
We must hold each other up no matter how imperfect we are.
Oprah I know we don’t known each other. But I just want to say that God had a big hand in all this because like you I don’t believe in coincidence at all. Everything I feel when it is beautiful like you good and lovely and all God stands for then God has a hand in it and you so deserved that role and all the roles you have had in your life. You are someone I truly look up to and find such joy in just feeling your spirit and your heart which is so precious. So happy they are redoing this movie as it’s a gem and pray that only pure joy can come of it.
Love you Oprah so happy for you. Merry Christmas may God’s light forever shine upon you forever and God be the glory that you have share with us your light and His light.
Thank you 🙏 😊😊😢❤
Oh Oprah! To assume that as role is yours to give away is wild. You don’t own Sophia, it’s not like someone singing your record at all. It’s a character that anyone can play.
You ladies rock. You do us proud. Love from the motherland.
Oprah and Gayle are the epitome of Black Girl Magic. They are showing us what true Sisterhood looks like 👑👑👑👑⭐⭐⭐⭐
Opra izgleda fantastično ,obožavam je.
Gosh! Oprah’s hair is always sooo glorious!
Blessings flowing
I wish I had a friend like Gayle
TFIUM💯👊🏾🙅🏾🤗
I enjoyed the interview but I would have to disagree with Gayle about the Godmother remark.
Gayle's the best!😊
❤Amazing. Now it makes sense local Baltimore news anchor woman a couple of minutes ago in my life when I first laid eyes on you in Baltimore at a charity walkathon for muscular dystrophy! Lol. That's right. I said a couple of minutes ago just so I...we can feel that youthful time of ours seep into our veins once more and throw our hair back as we gaze into the mirror with an illusion of ourselves...maybe to someone else but they don't get to respond. No opening for a projected thought whatsoever. Really! Lol. They'll be grateful to arrive here if they're truly missing something. And they should. Which is optimism, don't you think? The film broke during my first viewing in a movie theater at the very end when Celie and her sister are reunited and we were told we could come back and finish it another time while my face was drenched in tears AND I til this day couldn't believe it! (my tears however began with your moment of laughter at the dinner table upon your character's return from extraordinary oppression). Arba spelled backwards is? It's not the first time I had to work that out in my head, young lady... You? Love you and have a fabulous and rewarding spiritually holiday!😮😊🎉😢😂❤❤
I lived in the bay area in 1983. At that time and place, you would have been considered a flawed human if you had not read 'The Color purple'.You could not go to any cafe within a radius of 100 miles without seeing several people hunched over with their nose in that book. It was ev-er-y-where! Then you were considered a poser if you didn't go on to read at least some Zora Neale Hurston.
Hi Oprah and Gayle
OPRAH! I have to get this off my chest after seeing so many negative postings about you when Taraji's statement of "almost having to walk away from The Color Purple." I remember seeing this beautiful Black woman with her own show and felt very proud. Mostly, all the Black women I knew could not stop raving about your show. After time, that changed, especially after you had those white supremacists from Stone Mountian Georgia on your show. I was so very proud watching you handle those people while they ridicule you and called you names. You were like a queen standing up to mindless and wild baboons.
But after that show everything changed. I could not relate to your shows anymore, so I stopped watching. Then you left The Oprah Winfrey show.
After you left. You grow into who you started out to be. A loving person with a gift to act and write. I loved you in the color purple. Ever since then, I have watched every show, mini series, and movies you produced and directed because I can fully relate to them. I love Queen Sugar, Green Leaf, and the women of Brewster place among many others. Like Dr. Martin Luther King said in one of his speeches call, Keep It Moving.
In conclusion, I went to the Color Purple Christmas Day and loved it.
Thank you.
Christmas Day, seriously? This movie should've been released in February
Best Friend Goals! ❤
I believe you are the GOD MOTHER of the colour purple and to us all. The colour purple is the colour of God/source. Close your eyes and meditate and you will see the colour purple. I’m going to watch this movie again. Thank you ladies for leading the way. Much love to you all
Taraji also has a hair product business. I am also for female empowerment and African American/Native American empowerment.
LEGENDE
Hi dear ladies how are you welcome ❤❤❤❤❤
Where is Ms Whoopi ?
My Daily Dose of Oprah
Listen, Your story can be spent any which way that you want it and there are at least two (2 or more) sides to every story. There is no God Mother for the story except for Alice Walker who is the author ( her words and thoughts). It appears that the New York paper's review discovered the story/book and it was Spielberg who owns the rights to the movie. It was Whoopi who breathed life into Celie and that can not be taken away from her no matter how much money exist. You did not address the conflict between Oprah and Whoopi which has to be resolved. QUOTES TO HELP YOU. "Forgiveness is the final form of love". Reinhold Niebuhr AND "To forgive is to set a prisoner free and to discover that the prisoner is you." Lewis Smedes. There is no shame is admitting how you felt or currently feel but do so honestly. Open the eyes to your hearts and set yourself free. Then forgive yourself. Stop the pain for everyone, especially the public who is living through the pain also. Until the issue is resolved, I will not go to see the movie. For Christmas, please give me the true Spirit of Christmas. A true friend tells you when you are wrong and helps bring about a resolution. Be a true friend.
Thisssssss!!! Whoopi was "The Color Purple"...
I love you, girls!!!!!!!!❤❤❤
Gayle, I love how you love and support your friend, but this is even low for you. But for you to disparage other actors, directors, and everyone who worked on this iconic movie, that's really low. This was the movie that cemented Whoopi Goldberg as a great actress. This was the movie that introduced Steven Spielberg as a great director. I found out who Danny Glover was in The Color Purple. I didn't even know who Oprah was when I watched this movie, and after watching it. This was a group effort and a cinematic masterpiece, which is why this movie still resonates with people.
I believe she refers to her as the Queen of the Color Purple because of how she’s championed the film since it’s release. Although all phenomenal and legendary in their roles, none of the other cast has put it on a pedestal the way she has; through the broadway iteration and now the musical film.
I understand all that, but C'mon, I feel like a part of my childhood has been hijacked by the highest bidder. At this particular moment, this pivotal moment, I wanna see what Margaret Avery, Akosua Busia, Laurence Fishburne, Steven Spielberg and
Rae Dawn Chong, all have to say about the movie shown worldwide in international schools.
Low?? Because she didn’t interview the people you wanted her to interview? Oh my goodness.
Whose channel is this? This is Oprah's story.
There's no reason to dim anyone's light from the original film. Other interviews have spoken extensively about the OG cast & all have passed their blessings forward.
@joope11 WOW!!!! I will respect that you feel that way; however, I want to encourage you to go do a little research. Margaret Avery and a few others had come out to the L.A. premiere, she has pictures with Taraji, and others. For you to feel that your childhood his hijacked, well, I only want to say WAIT TIL YOU SEE THE NEW MOVIE, FIRST and then reassess your thoughts. Dreamgirls didn't get this much fodder for not having all the original Broadway people in the movie and it STILL became a hit.
Give this a chance and see what THEY bring to the set.
Oprah is campaigning this the same way Whoopi campaigned SISTER ACT on Broadway AND Sister Act 3.....
No Harm, NO Foul
The story is about Celie - I love Oprah, but she can't take credit for everything!...again...The story started with Celie whoopee Goldberg -
She’s a producer promoting her movie.
@@NikkijBerryman that's my comment!...the story is about CELIE.......
@@jonhi1No one denies that…not even the producers, Oprah Winfrey and Alice Walker. You are on Oprah Daily and she is giving HER personal account. The story is still about Celie. Whoopi Goldberg is in the movie. AND she gave her personal account on The View. Why are you so bothered?
@@NikkijBerryman I don't argue with females hun!...I don't do that.
Synchronicity. Wow!
What about ,, Ms. Whoopi Goldberg , she is part of the movie too !!! 😮 ....
Oprah I would love to own that beautiful purple outfit you have on-I am having weight loss surgery soon for health reasons and a dream come true would be a makeover when I reach my goal-I’ve done WW for years and will continue using my tracker but I am tired of carrying another person around despite eating right and exercising-turned 55 on 12/12/23 and I want the rest of my life to be the best of my life
Wow -- I didn't know about Steven Spielberg not believing she was going to be famous. That's big.
Off-topic: I love Gayle's neutral eyeshadow and lip color here.
Steven did not say that Oprah was not going to be famous. Based on the conversation between Gayle and Oprah, Steven felt that Oprah did not have the experience to take on the leading role of Celie. Oprah had never acted before.
Whoopi was the experienced actor who breathed life into the character Celie. Give credit where it is due. Just because Oprah professed that she was going to be famous did not make it so. Steven went with his gut and he was right. You know what I don't understand is why Oprah does not want to celebrate Sophia but insist that she is "The Color Purple" and she is Celie - neither is true. Oprah is Sophia. Gayle. A true friend tells or is able to show their friend the truth. Be a true friend even if it means losing the friendship.
No wonder Oprah was so good at the role. She was passionate about the story.
She ain't passionate about no story...what is there to have passion about the colour purple...and then to leave out the person who made it what it was...the original Sealy...that woman is seraching for an Oscar....her bad acting couldn't get her one so she figured she will go the producer route
💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜‼️
❤❤❤❤❤
If it wasn't for Stephen, the movie wouldn't have been made or gotten the recognition it did according to what was written back in the day. Oprah taking all the credit. Umm
That is not what was said AT ALL…she was giving her experience. She had to audition! How can she take credit?
💜💜💜
Gail's is her best friends number 1 fan 😂
Whoopie and Danny made The Colour Purple.
Congratulations Oprah!!!!
Hey Mrs. Gayle #ARE THOSE Ms. Taylor Swift Friendship Bracelets ❤❤❤
Saying you would work for nothing on a movie that you loved in book form as a newbie actor is quite different from what you would say after these many years of Oprah's and certainly Taraji's career. I don't think she would work for free with the amount of experience she has at this point. It's absolutely offensive that Oprah would make that comment in the present climate. Add to that the way Winfrey and Perry treated Monique for standing up to them on her decision to go against the practice of not being paid for promotional touring, well we should all be able to see that Oprah is a part of the Hollywood establishment. She is no longer an advocate for actors 'on the rise'. Once again, it doesn't matter the color/race. It is, as always, about the money.
i love you oprah
I have seen Hidden Figures numerous times. My parents taught my siblings and I
to be brilliant like them.
They might have taught you to be brilliant, but they didn't teach you grammar. "...my siblings and me..." is correct.
@@johnfd0210it was correct, until you butchered it. Lol 😂. "My siblings and I" or "me and my siblings"
Remember the color purple. BUT PAY THOSE ACTORS WHAT YOU OWE THEM.
Where are these two from whats happening in Gaza???
👍👍👍👍👍🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🤗
Does this women honestly help black community! To be a billionaire you dont give nothing free . Why people still look up too thjs women blows my mind 😂
She does a whole lot for the black community y'all would know that if you read more a gossiped less.
@@annzeeg4217THIS!!!
I agree whoopie is the star of color purple you dont mention her enough fantastia mention w
Whoopie at all when she got her award
They're really a cute couple ❤
It would have been awesome to see Whoopi Goldberg in the movie.
I guess Gayle isn't on the pen like Oprah intiuallly lied about doing but she's definitely the nicer one. Truth
No Whoopi Goldberg is a godmother of The color purple don't you know
💓💫
Whoopie was brilliant in this movie any thing for me 2024 ❤❤❤
Taraji took my whole excitement away from wanting to watch the movie with her crying about Hollywood
Why?
Crying about Hollywood.....where have you been black women have been unappreciated, underpaid and disrespected for years not only in Hollywood but out in the real world too Talk to a black nurse or teacher. Oprah and Gayle are boo things and care nothing about our culture. all the movies their associated with along with Tyler Perry trash movie disparage and put black men down. Sisterhood....really.
Oprah is full of herself. Don't ever try to correct her on anything because she can come back with daggers.
