Oprah Winfrey reveals the shockingly small salary she was paid for her performance as Sofia in The Color Purple, which earned her an Oscar nomination.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Oprah Winfrey reveals the surprisingly small salary she made for starring as Sofia in Steven Spielberg's The Color Purple. The movie is based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel of the same name by Alice Walker and follows Celie Harris Johnson , an African-American woman struggling to overcome oppression and abuse. A new musical adaptation of The Color Purple is also in the works, directed by Blitz Bazawule.
I can’t even begin to tell you what it means to me — a person who wanted nothing more in my life than to be in The Color Purple. And God taught me to surrender — that was the big lesson for me. They were only offering $35,000 to be in this film, and it is the best $35,000 I ever earned. It changed everything and taught me so much. It is God moving through my life.
