OPRAH WINFREY SPOTTED ON THE SET OF HER FIRST SCREEN ROLE SINCE I998


She's used to sitting on the sofa, prizing information out of squirming celebrities.

But now Oprah Winfrey is returning to the silver screen to star in The Butler, the first time she will appear as a character other than herself since 1998's Beloved.
The 58-year-old was seen filming scenes with co-star Lenny Kravitz and Cuba Gooding Jr in New Orleans dressed in a patterned shirt, chunky gold chain and calf-cropped fitted trousers.

Her vibrant make-up was immaculate, as was her bouffant hair that had been styled into a beehive.

    Oprah, who plays Gloria Gaines in the historical drama, appeared in high spirits as she tottered along in a pair of low neutral hue heels.
    The star-studded film tells the tale of a White House butler who serves eight Presidents over the course of three decades.

    Oprah will be joined on screen by a string of A-listers including Liam Neeson, Robin Williams, Nicole Kidman, John Cusack and Forest Whitaker.
    Rising stars Alex Pettyfer and Minka Kelly are also aboard the Lee Daniels directed film, with the filmmaker previously known for Oscar-winning Precious and penning Halle Berry hit Monster's Ball.
    While it is the first time Oprah will return to the silver screen in over a decade, she has loaned her vocals to several animations over the years, including Charlotte's Web and 2007's Bee Movie.
