...OPRAH WINFREY Like Cher and Tiger, she is one of a handful of people whose first name alone guarantees recognition.

As late as 1995, in "Clueless," crowd is still important. The regally popular main character, Cher, introduces a new girl to her Beverly Hills high school by pointing out each of the crowds lounging in their respective portions of the schoolyard, sequestered in their hate, as W.H.
