 Oprah just wrapped her last scene in the Lee Daniels-directed history drama.

The television legend has been busy on the set of director Lee Daniels' "The Butler,"

Daniels' next film is "The Butler," which focuses on Eugene Allen, an African-American man who worked as a butler in the White House between 1952 and 1986. 

 Filming on "The Butler" has been going on in New Orleans over the last month, and Winfrey took to her Twitter account on Monday night to update fans about the progress.

Winfrey hasn't acted in a film since appearing in "Beloved" in 1998. (She has lent her voice to a number of animated projects in the interim.) Despite her relative lack of recent experience, Daniels told HuffPost that she has been a dream collaborator.
"She’s a monster, man!" he exclaimed. "She’s bringing it and I’m really proud of her. It’s crazy when you’re working with her because people are obsessed. I got to make sure there are no phones around. But we’re having a good time and I think that she’s able to escape the pressures of being Oprah while on my set, because she’s able to sort of be the character. Which is really nice to witness. I wrote this film for her."

Oprah Winfrey ditches her signature wise woman persona and gets naughty in a new photo taken from the set of her upcoming film "The Butler". Sharing the image on her Instagram account, the TV mogul channels her inner bad girl as she is pictured smoking a cigarette while striking a seductive pose to the camera. 

Rocking a floral dress, Oprah is featured sitting next to Terrence Howard, who puts one of his hands on Oprah's thigh. Along with the picture, the 58-year-old philanthropist explains that it was taken after she wrapped her last scene for the film. "And THAT's a Wrap! Terrance Howard and me in our goodbye 'love scene'. Thanks Lee Daniels for the great experience. #theButler," she writes. 

In "The Butler", Oprah stars as the wife of the lead protagonist, played by Forest Whitaker. The famous talk-show host recently gushed to Gayle King on "CBS This Morning" that she had a great time filming the kissing scene between her and Forest. "I felt pretty good about it, let me just say. Forest is a good kisser, how about that?" she said, before joking, "Thank you Keisha Whitaker." 

Based on Wil Haygood's Washington Post "A Butler Well Served by This Election", "The Butler" is a story of Eugene Allen, a black man who served as a White House butler for 34 years. 

 The film is also supported by such actors as Alex Pettyfer, James Marsden, Jane Fonda, John Cusack, Alan Rickman, Robin Williams, Cuba Gooding Jr., Minka Kelly and Lenny Kravitz.

The Difference between A-list, B-list, C-list and D-list Actors & Celebrities

-

“A-list”  actors are exceptionally successful, their notoriety extends beyond the silver screen, and their name guarantees a box office hit. Some “A-list” actors include: Will Smith, Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio, Angelina Jolie, Meryl Streep, and Johnny Depp. The “A-list” actors are usually made up of male actors as with more high earning positions. “B-list”  actors are usually television actors or less successful movie stars. Some “B-list” actors include: Nicholas Cage, Katherine Heigl, David Morse, Samantha Morton, and Pierce Brosnan. “B-list” actors usually never headline a film by themselves; this means the supporting actors are usually fairly notable too. “C-list”  actor is a character actor that’s known by face and not by name. They are usually still good actors, but they receive less notoriety than an A or B-list actor. “D-list”  actors are the lowest on the celebrity hierarchy; they appear on celebrity game shows and reality television. Celebrity  refers to popular

How Diana Ross’ daughter learned her dad was Berry Gordy Diana Ross' daughter Rhonda Photo: Anne Wermiel Blood will out. Which is why — after her Emmy-nominated turn in the soap “Another World” and launching a real estate firm —  Rhonda Ross Kendrick AKA   Rhonda Ross is singing again. Backed by an eight-piece band, this love child of music royalty Diana Ross and Berry Gordy returns to the Iridium Sunday night to perform her own songs, an amalgam of R&B, funk and jazz she calls “music of the African diaspora.” ‘ I FEEL I’M FINDING MY VOICE AND MY PURPOSE, AND THE MUSIC I REALLY WANT TO SHARE. ’  - Rhonda Ross But some may recall a 7- or 8-year-old Rhonda who, from the audience at Caesar’s Palace, sang “Reach Out and Touch (Somebody’s Hand)” as her Supreme mother held the mic. These days, Raif, Rhonda’s 5-year-old son (with her pianist husband Rodney Kendrick), is likely to get onstage and bust some dance moves during her own set. “It’s like a R

When you think of Diana Ross, you may think of the talented singer, the lead singer of the legendary singing group, The Supremes. Or you may even think of her talented daughter, Tracee Ellis Ross. But the talent doesn’t just stop there.  There was another member of the family who is also legendary, but just in another field: Medicine. Growing up in inner-city Detroit,  Barbara Ross-Lee  and her sister Diana shared a fondness for show business, performing with their brothers and sisters in the church choir. But while Diana pursued a career in music and soon to being the lead singer of the “Supremes,” Barbara made her mark in the sciences. Barbara began her pre-medical studies at Detroit’s Wayne State University in 1960, during the growth of the Civil Rights movement. Although a few medical schools offered admission to minority students there were no federal or private funding to help support students from poor families. At Wayne State,  her pre-med advisor did not belie
