Madonna's tribute to Oprah Winfrey
Thursday, 19 May 2011
Madonna, Tom Cruise and Arnold Schwarzenegger's estranged wife Maria Shriver were among the stars at the taping of Oprah Winfrey's final chat show episodes.
Around 13,000 people attended the recording at the United Centre in Chicago - for two shows that will air on May 23 and 24, ahead of the last episode on May 25 - and saw the galaxy of celebrities pay tribute to the inspirational television presenter on Tuesday 17 May.
Madonna revealed she admired Oprah because she was a 'self made woman' who has shown people that hard work and determination pay off.
She said: 'It's no secret that millions of people are inspired by Oprah. She's a self-made woman who's been at the top of her game for over 25 years and she is still kicking ass and encouraging people to dream big to work hard, to read a book, to ask questions, to get an education no matter who you are or where you come from. I vow to be more courageous and never give up....Thank you for inspiring me.'
