Oprah Winfrey Speaks on ‘Henrietta Lacks’ Film

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.
