American talk-show host whose daily Oprah Winfrey Show ran from 1986 to 2011 and made her one of the richest women in US media. 欧普拉 is the Taiwan form; the mainland writes 奥普拉.
Her birth certificate reads Orpah, after Ruth's sister-in-law in the Bible, 俄珥巴 in the Chinese Bible. People kept saying 'Oprah', that spelling stuck, and both Chinese forms follow it.
