About the Episode: It all began with a letter to Oprah Winfrey from a Chicago hairdresser who thought she needed more consistency in her on-camera hairstyling. Now, 30 years later, Oprah sits down one-on-one with Andre Walker, the "man behind the hair" for nearly three decades. As the friends bid adieu to their day-to-day professional association and Walker launches a new haircare product line currently available at Target stores, Oprah and Andre look back at their favorite and not-so-favorite Oprah hairstyles through the years. Then, music mogul Master P opens his magnificent home and introduces his children, including a grown-up son Romeo, who offers his take on the kind of man his father is. And though frequent "Oprah" show guest Roger Ebert is no longer with us, his wife Chaz is carrying on his legacy and shares plans for a media center in the famed critic's name at the University of Illinois. Actor and DWTS champion J. R. Martinez looks back on what that victory meant to him and the struggles he faced following his injury in Iraq. Christian pop singer Amy Grant made headlines when she divorced her husband, Gary Chapman and married country singer Vince Gill. Today, she reflects on that divorce, life on her Tennessee farm with Gill and their kids, and sharing farm life with hundreds of children through "Barefoot on the Farm." Finally, Mike "Da Coach" Ditka takes time out at his Chicago restaurant to reminisce about those legendary 1985 Chicago Bears, and why getting fired is a fact of life he has learned to live with.
