All you're doing is lying and eveybody knows.
Misusing the words steal and dedication just makes your argument weaker.
Plus your ignorance about acting is glaring.

Look at you dodging your real actress logical fallacy
Smarten up
Go back and read what I said you ducking liar.
Do not blame your ignorance on anyone else.
Talking all this **** about Oprah as an actress but haven't even bothered to look up the work she's put in to be an actor.
Talking about she neve auditions. Another ******* lie by you.
Its pathetic now.
Just stop lying.

That has NOTHING to do with what’s being talked about. I think that’s the problem here. Facts are thrown out the window for feelingsdudes defending oprah

i dont know im not going back to look
if it was you it doesnt change anything cuz before you said she didnt have to audition quincy talked to spielberg
so now forget that she did audition?
in a legitimate audition against other actresses?
you found that video where are the actresses she competed against?
or are you only posting things that support your view instead of "facts"?
cuz the "fact" is it sounds like you oochie wallying

Oprah was a host on a local Chicago morning show at the time. Quicny Jones was in Chicago dealing with a lawsuit involving Michael Jackson. He happened upon Oprah's show and thought she'd be a good look physically for the role of Sophia. So he got his people in touch so that she could audition/read for the part if she was interested.
It was a Steven Spielberg movie. The most acclaimed director of all time, who had already delivered Jaws, Close Encounters, ET, Raiders of the Lost Ark among others.
Why would he "gift" a lead role to a virtually unknown TV host? In 1985? Not 2005. Not even 1995. It was 1985. The Oprah WInfrey show didn't even exist. There was no clout there yet.
And yes others obviously auditioned. Audition tapes probably exist, but you'd have to talk to Amblin or Warner Bros. They're not on youtube for OBVIOUS reasons.

She should have said no to Spielberg because she made a few thousand at the time.

Exactly. Dude talking all this mess about "it could have been a role that kickstarted a career for another black actress."
Meanwhile it was actually Oprah, who was pretty unknown at the time, whose career was kickstarted

I've boycotted oprah since i was a child. Call me a heteronormative victim of the evil patriarchy if you will , but GI Joe and go bots always appealed more to me in that time slot than holding hands and sharing tearful moments.
These days i just feel like she was a weinstein enabler

Dude has exhausted all outlets to make a point. Literally shut down on every level of argument. No doubt he will still continue.Exactly. Dude talking all this mess about "it could have been a role that kickstarted a career for another black actress."

looking good dont mean you can act a role
and yall talk about me and what i know what do quincy know about movies? is he a casting agent now too? how he know she could play the part
and again im repeating myself but TCP was 30 years ago she had her time
im saying she dont still need to be acting now in 2018
i didnt know being a tv host was so minor
either way it doesnt matter cuz whaterver amount of clout that you thought she had a lot or a little it was enough to get quincy in spielbergs ear right?
its obvious why you can only find hers i mean audition tapes come out all the time
the reason you dont see any for her role is cuz there are none cuz no else auditioned for a role oprah was "gifted"
didnt know that a few thousand was so few
i mean obviously she took that opportunity and went on to pursue acting and thast why she is where she is today right?
i mean if she wasnt in color purple her show wouldnt have happened right?
its not that she grinded in her lane of tv shows and got it done right?

kickstarted her acting career right? she went on to to win emmys and oscars right? like full time actors do?
and even still youre still making my point when 30 years later, after shes already "made it", shes still acting and taking roles from people that are in the postion she was in 30 years ago, "virtually unknown" right?
but its oprah so she can do that right?

nobody said shut up and dribble
but we talking about her acting, not producing or anything else she can do all of that
im talking about her in front the camera, she has acted, now its time to let it go
be real, if she never acted in anything again yall wouldnt even miss her
yall aint checking for no damn oprah movie
just a bunch of fronters more interested in debating or calling me names than any actual interest yall even have in her
and even if there are fans of her acting, shes not that good to where she MUST be in movies

Okay so "shut up and direct/produce" is a better example I guess.
I'm not checking for Oprah but I'm not about to sit here and say what she can and can't do. Can you imagine if a white dude said what you're saying about her or another prominent black figure?

Hence the audition
He produced the god damn movie.
And why are you acting like music and movies don't intersect? Show business is show business.
What does Dominic Chianese know about Opera music?
What does Frank Sinatra know about acting?
What does Ryan Gosling know about the guitar?

she's a talk show host and she's wealthy. she shouldn't produce. she's stealing producer credits when she does that.
