News; Oprah Winfrey

It’s been pretty easy to forget that chat show queen Oprah is an actress – not least because this week’s Charlotte’s Web is her first big screen outing since 1998’s Beloved, and her first acting turn full stop since 1999’s direct to video Our Friend, Martin. It always takes a few seconds to remember that she received an Oscar nomination for her acting debut in 1986’s harrowing The Color Purple.

Still, although she may have another film in the works, it doesn’t look like fans of daytime TV need worry that she’s going to abandon them just yet. It looks to be merely a small voice cameo in Jerry Seinfeld’s upcoming animated comedy The Bee Movie – and I doubt yet get odds worth bothering with if you were to bet that she’ll be playing herself.

Still no sign of her running for President, though…
