Oprah Winfrey may return to acting in what would be her first on-screen movie since 1998’s Beloved. Yes, Oprah is seriously considering an offer to co-star in The Butler, Precious director Lee Daniels’ story of Eugene Allen, a black man who worked as butler in the White House, serving eight presidents from 1952 to 1986.
The project was initially set up at Columbia, which picked up Wil Haygood’s 2008 Washington Post story A Butler Well Served by This Election. The project is now being financed independently, with Pamela Williams producing on behalf of Laura Ziskin Productions.

Could this be the beginning of O’s acting comeback?
