Oprah is a huge fan of the movie "Precious" which is based on the novel "Push" by Saphire. On Oprah's November 20, 2009 show 26-year-old "Gabby Sidibe" joined Oprah to talk about her breakout role in the movie.
"Precious" did a fantastic job portraying a trouble teened living in an abusive environment. Gabby's "real life" is much different, she is a college student with a loving family. Her creative mother makes her living as a singing street performer.
"Gabby Sidibe" decided to go and audition for the movie "Precious" on a whim, and was casted for the role right away. This is the first time Gabbie has ever acted, but after the great success of the movie "Precious," it probably won't be the last.
