 PROFILE
Harpo toots Oprah's horn. Unrelated to the silent Marx brother, Harpo (Oprah spelled backward) controls the entertainment interests of talk show host/actress/producer extraordinaire Oprah Winfrey, #2 on "Forbes'" highest-paid celebrity list. "The Oprah Winfrey Show" is the highest-rated TV talk show in history (22 million viewers each week, 76% of whom are women), seen in almost every US market and in 116 countries. Harpo also produces feature films ("Beloved," which also starred Oprah) and made-for-TV movies ("Oprah Winfrey Presents: Tuesdays with Morrie") and launched "O, The Oprah Magazine" in 2000 with Hearst at a circulation of about 2 million. Oprah founded Harpo in 1986.
