On Tuesday's episode of her daytime talk show, Oprah Winfrey revealed that she had asked to audition for a role in the film "Doubt," but was turned down by the director.
Winfrey told the movie's star Meryl Streep -- who appeared on the show via Skype -- that she asked to audition to play "Mrs. Miller" because she felt a connection to it and wanted to work with Streep. But she couldn't convince director John Patrick Shanley to give her a shot.
The role ended up going to Viola Davis. She received a Best Supporting Actress Golden Globe for her emotional five-minute scene in which Mrs. Miller breaks down after hearing her son may have been molested by a priest.
Winfrey has spoken out about being sexually abused as a child.
Why can't Oprah ever play someone HAPPY for once? We are tired of her playing slaves, the abused, and the trodden.
You are a BILLIONAIRE, heaux! Live it up!
