Oprah Winfrey is returning to films and is hiring an acting coach for the star-studded movie 'Lee Daniels' The Butler'.

The media mogul plays the wife of a butler, Forest Whitaker, who served eight US presidents in the White House over the course of more than 30 years.

According to CBS News, Winfrey spoke about the film and whether she plans to take on more movie roles at the film's New York premiere on Monday night.

Winfrey, who won the best supporting actress Oscar for her role in 1985's 'The Color Purple', also said that she has multiple jobs as the head of a media empire and a cable TV network, and therefore it would be tough for her to find the vast amount of time required to work in a film, the report said.

 

She added that if she found something really interesting and meaningful to do she would not hesitate in picking up the offer.
