What's the Secret Why Oprah Calls it Quits? Producer Bruce Edwin Explains Why

Film producer, talent manager, and publisher of www.TheHollywoodSentinel.com Bruce Edwin discussed with media today the announcement of Oprah Winfrey's retirement from the talk show circuit.

Bruce Edwin, who has spoken with Oprah's production company Harpo last year regarding a film he is producing, and who is also originally from Chicago, where Oprah's show is based, states, "There are two things you need to know about Oprah in order to understand Oprah."

"First of all," Bruce Edwin states, "Oprah likes to be in control of any project. And why wouldn't she? She has the power to, and she has earned it. Secondly, she is a very spiritual person, utilizing the 'law of attraction.' She is making this decision from a grounded, logical perspective, and also from an ever more advanced, intuitive place. 25 is a magic number for her to complete." "According to Biblical numerology," Bruce Edwin continues, "the study of numbers from a perspective of the Bible, the number 25 ushers in redemption and divine grace from God."

The producer goes on, "Oprah is moving in to the final stage of her life, and this move will only make her more valuable as a host on television." Bruce Edwin explains, "Absence of greatness increases its power in the hearts and minds of those who deem it so, and of course, Oprah is a great, wonderful human being."

The Hollywood Sentinel.com further reveals what Hollywood Reporter Editor Elizabeth Guider tells the press. Ms. Guider, who met the online magazine's publisher Bruce Edwin last year in Beverly Hills, calling him and his work very interesting, calls Oprah Winfrey's exit "a paradigm shift, one that will roil the already fragile local TV station business for the next two years."

Chicago native Bruce Edwin also explains why Chicago Mayor Richard Daley feels Oprah Winfrey is ending her syndicated talk show, according to the Chicago Sun Times. Mr. Daley says complaints about the city shutting down North Michigan Avenue for two days at a high cost for Oprah's 24th season premiere in September may have been too much for Winfrey, who has since reimbursed Chicago taxpayers.

The Chicago Sun Times quoted Mayor Daley as saying, "When the controversy came up on Michigan Avenue, and people were criticizing her in the media, the first thing I said is, 'She's paying for everything on Michigan Avenue.' I said, 'So, why are you criticizing her?' The merchants loved it; we had huge recognition around the world when she opened her show. And so, you keep kicking people, and people will leave. Simple as that."

Bruce Edwin concludes that while Chicago still loves Oprah, and while it was kind of Mr. Daley to offer such factual support of Ms. Winfrey, this was not the real reason she is calling it wraps. Bruce Edwin concludes, "If there is one thing Oprah is, that is a fighter for what she believes in and wants. If she wanted to stay another 10, 20, or even 30 years in Chicago with The Oprah Winfrey Show, she would do it. This is about listening to her inner spirit, and little else. She is going to evolve in many, many great ways, both as an individual, spiritual being, and as the legendary icon that she is. Television will survive, and Oprah will thrive and prosper in yet greater ways to come."
