Oprah recently did an interview with the LA Times, and read this shit.
What about this talk of you playing the Shirley MacLaine role in Lee Daniels? remake of ?Terms of Endearment?? Is that going to happen?It?s just a rumor. I spoke to Lee actually this morning who told me that somebody is writing it. And I go, ?Lee, you?re not doing a thing until you have a script.? And I don?t think it should be called ?Terms of Endearment,? that?s for sure, especially if you?re doing a whole other script. It?s about an African American family and the girl gets AIDS from the husband. That?s not ?Terms of Endearment.? It?s something else.
So you?re not stepping into Shirley MacLaine?s shoes?What I am saying for sure is that I am not going to try to step into Shirley MacLaine?s shoes. It?s unnecessary to do that. She?s already done it as well as it could be done for that role.
