An 84-year-old Mississippi man is claiming to be Oprah Winfrey’s father, said the New York Post. Norh Robinson stepped forward after biographer Kitty Kelley said she knew the identity of Winfrey’s biological father. Robinson, who lives in a Veterans Administration hospital in Kosciusko, Miss., says he has called Winfrey in the past, offering to take a DNA test, but has never gotten a response. “I haven’t seen her since she was a kid,” says Robinson. “I’d like her to call me.”
