THE TELEGRAPH: A poor Mississippi farmer has claimed to be Oprah Winfrey's biological father.
Noah Robinson, 84, a Second World war veteran, claimed a DNA test would show he was the talk show host's real father and said he had written to her year ago asking for one.
His claims, reported by the New York Post, could not be verified and Winfrey has not commented on them.
Mr Robinson told the newspaper: "I'm her real father. I haven't seen her since she was a kid. She was a little bitty thing." >>> Nick Allen in Los Angeles | Monday, April 19, 2010
