A TV movie based on Kitty Kelley’s “Oprah: A Biography” is in the works. Producer Larry Thompson has reportedly optioned the tell-all in a six figure deal. In the past, Thompson has produced bio-pics on such stars as Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz. There’s been some controversy surrounding “Oprah: A Biography,” which was published last April. Sections of the book claimed that Winfrey had been a teenage prostitute, questioned her sexuality and also claimed that she had exaggerated her middle-class upbringing to make it sound like she had grown up poor. The movie is reportedly slated to premiere in September 2011, the same month that Oprah will end her popular daytime talk show.
