Early Oprah, Baltimore TV Years (1978 1981)

From the Mid Atlantic Media Archive, we share these rare raw feed masters of a 26 year old OPRAH WINFREY as cohost of Baltimore s PEOPLE ARE TALKING and News Anchor. One of the segments (at 7:50) includes what is safe to assume as Oprah s Network TV Acting debut, when she made a cameo on ABC s ALL MY CHILDREN, as a tie in with PAT s Soaps Week. Also included are some TV commercials from the era. Until footage from Oprah s stint at WLAC in Nashville surfaces, I m pretty certain this ts the earliest and best looking footage of Ms. Winfrey on the web.
