Back in 1998, Anna Wintour, the tongue-lashing editor of Vogue Magazine, demanded that Oprah Winfrey drop twenty pounds before she would agree to feature The Queen of Talk on the cover of the Fashion Bible.

“It was a very gentle suggestion,” Wintour said in an unaired segment from Anna’s interview on 60 Minutes Sunday. “I went to Chicago to visit Oprah, and I suggested that it might be an idea that she lose a little bit of weight before she appeared in the magazine.”

“She was a trooper,” she said of O’s reaction. “She totally welcomed the idea. She went on a very stringent diet. It was one of our most successful covers ever.”
