The media magnate toasted her new HBO film at the New York premiere on Tuesday night.
“I didn’t want to do this film,” Oprah Winfrey unexpectedly told the 479-seat audience assembled on Tuesday night at Manhattan’s SVA Theater for the world premiere of The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, airing Saturday on HBO.
“I was really scurrred — three r’s — because I hadn’t done a lot of films; it’s not where I feel the most at home, obviously, in front of the television camera, where I spent 25 years of my career,” she said.
