From Black Voices:

A couple of decades can go by, and it’s never too late to salvage a relationship and reunite with people you made history with.

No one can know that better than Oprah Winfrey.

Last week, the media maven taped another one of her landmark moments for ‘The Oprah Winfrey Show’ – which is in its final record-breaking year – with a reunion of her co-stars from the 1985 epic film ‘The Color Purple.’

In her new book, ‘Oprah: A Biography,’ scandal-mongering biographer Kitty Kelley offered many unconfirmed stories about Winfrey’s alleged dust-ups with cast members and the movie’s director Steven Spielberg. The tantalizing tidbits provided context to what many believe has been a long-running feud with her co-star, the movie’s lead actress Whoopi Goldberg.
