Oprah Winfrey's first audition video

Billionaire TV star Oprah Winfrey, 60, wasn't always the polished diva we see today.

She chose a slow but sure career path, taking each necessary step for professional growth.

A tape from 1983 shows Oprah applying for a host position at a TV show.

She got the job and within three years the show was renamed after her, making top ratings.

Lots of young dreamers have a lot to learn from the relaxed and confident attitude she shows on the tape she stayed up all night to put together.
