Oprah Winfrey Parents and Family
Oprah Winfrey was born on January 29, 1954 in Kosciusko, Mississippi, U.S. Vernita Lee and Vernon Winfrey are the biological parents of Oprah Winfrey.
Winfrey’s first name was spelled “Orpah” on her birth certificate after the biblical figure in the Book of Ruth, but people mispronounced it regularly and “Oprah” stuck. She was born in Kosciusko, Mississippi, to an unmarried teenage mother. She later said that her conception was due to a single sexual encounter and the couple broke up not long after. Her mother, Vernita Lee, was a housemaid. Winfrey’s biological father is usually noted as Vernon Winfrey (born c. 1933), a coal miner turned barber turned city councilman who had been in the Armed Forces when she was born. However, Mississippi farmer and World War II veteran Noah Robinson Sr. has claimed to be her biological father.
