The World According to Oprah - Chicago Actress is 'Living Oprah'

Wednesday July 16, 2008

WWOD (What Would Oprah Do)? Whether you're dying to know the answer or don't really care, someone does.

Her name is Robyn Okrant, she's an actress working and living in Chicago, and she's following Oprah's advice. Literally. Whether it's dispensed through O Magazine, her TV show, her website, or her radio show, Robyn Okrant is doing it, blogging about it, and Living Oprah.

Want to hear what's involved and why she's given her life over to the Big O? LO (as she calls herself now) tells all to NPR.

LO is doing this not because she's a huge fan of Oprah, but because she believes that women don't question enough; instead, we tend to place celebrities on pedestals and try to emulate them. And to be honest, although LO is trying to follow Oprah's adage, "Live Your Best Life," so far she's spent $2000, her life isn't significantly better, and she's really tired.
