Shortly after her portrait was unveiled on Wednesday at the National Portrait Gallery, Oprah Winfrey told the 100 or so guests, to laughter, “I chose the color purple not just because I knew the movie was coming out.”
In her portrait, from artist Shawn Michael Warren, Winfrey is in a striking purple dress, standing near a tree at her Montecito property, and beaming. The portrait will soon go on display at the gallery, joining those of presidents, civil rights figures and entertainers.
Winfrey said that she chose the color purple because it has had special meaning in her life, most recently the musical version of the movie debuting this month.
