Oprah Winfrey was born in Kosciusko, Mississippi to an extremely poor family. Her parents were unmarried teenagers. Her father, Vernon Winfrey, was a soldier. Her mother, Vernita Lee, was a housemaid. Oprah was raised by her grandmother on a farm where she "began her broadcasting career" by learning to read aloud and performing recitations at the age of three. From age six to thirteen she resided in Milwaukee with her mother. After experiencing abuse and molestation, Oprah ran away and was sent to a juvenile detention home at the age of thirteen, but was denied admission due to all the beds being filled.
