Publishers Description: Of all the events in Oprah Winfreys life, none has affected her as powerfully as playing the part of Sethe, the former slave who must come to terms with a haunting past, in Jonathan Demmes film of Toni Morrisons Pulitzer Prize-winning novel -- coming from Touchstone Pictures in Fall 1998. Oprah fell in love with the book when it was first published in 1988, and instantly became determined to deliver this powerful story to film herself. But making the movie was something even more profound than she might have imagined, and Journey to Beloved is her own emotional account of that experience.With Oprahs heartfelt words and the evocative images of Ken Regan, Journey to Beloved is an elegant book that will interest fans of Oprah, of Toni Morrison, and of fine filmmaking. Accompanying Oprahs personal journals and thoughts about the Beloved experience is a foreword by Jonathan Demme and a chorus of voices, from Danny Glover, Thandie Newton, Kimberley Elise, and Beah Richards. The result is a tribute to a courageous work of art, expressed as only Oprah can express it.Oprah Winfrey is an award-winning actress, philanthropist, businesswoman -- and world-renowned host of the nations number-one talk show for the past twelve years. She is chairman of Harpo Entertainment Group, a production company in Chicago, where she lives. Ken Regan is a professional photographer who has traveled extensively throughout the world documenting wars, social conditions, and sporting events. He has worked with Jonathan Demme on a number of films, including The Silence of the Lambs and Philadelphia.
