There was a touching story on Oprah Winfrey today. It seems that Oprah's mother gave a daughter up for adoption forty seven years ago.
The woman wanted to know her birth Mother and tried to track her down. She was denied because the Mother did not want contact with her. Their Mother felt ashamed that she gave her up for adoption because she could not afford to raise her.
She did get some information about how many siblings she had. She had a sibling born in 1954, and two other siblings who passed away.
After she listened to Oprah's mother giving an interview, there were many similarities in her story .
She has known since 2007 that she was probably Oprah Winfrey's half sister. It is amazing and attests to this woman's integrity that she was concerned how this would affect Oprah. Patricia also has a son and daughter who kept the secret along with her.
Most people would have called the tabloids and broke this news, and cashed in on a big paycheck.
Oprah and Pat and the rest of the family, I hope you have a good life together.

Katey Sagal Wins Golden Globe!
I was happy to see Katey Sagal win the Golden Globes. I have been a fan of Katey's for a long time.
I first watched her as the big-haired loud-mouthed Peggy Bundy. She was funny and made her character unique and memorable.
Katey is also talented as a voice actor in Futurama, her character Leela reminds you a little of Peggy Bundy in the future. Once again Katey makes Leela one of my favorite characters on the show.
Another one of my favorite roles for Katey was in Eight Simple Rules.She played the Mom who returned to a nursing career after staying home while her children were young.
She also is a talented singer and has released two albums of her own.
Katey has talent in both comedy and drama. In Boston Legal she played the mother of a son accused of murder, and the story line she was involved in was intense and gave you another view of her talent.
I read an interview she did in Redbook, I believe. She talked about her life and raising her children. One of the points she made was the fact that she wanted Kurt her husband to have a child. Since she felt that at her age surrogacy would be a better option, They have a beautiful little girl Esme.
At this time she plays Gemma Teller Morrow on Sons of Anarchy. This show is written by her husband Kurt Sutter. He is a multi talented guy. Without a doubt Katey deserved the Golden Globe for her role in this intense driven show. Congratulations to you Katey from a long time fan!
"I'd been looking for a more dramatic role. I've done comedy most of my career, which I love, but I wanted to expand. And "Sons of Anarchy" (2008) came along, and is sort of a dream job, really, a dream character to play. It's so different from other roles I've played, and it's been challenging, which is just what I wanted."
