Oprah Winfrey may have had a premonition about her new movie The Butler.

The 59-year-old smiled and waved on Friday at Santa Barbara Municipal Airport before opening weekend for the historical drama about a longtime butler at the White House.

The movie directed by Lee Daniels and starring Oscar winner Forest Whitaker finished the weekend at the top of the box office with a $25million haul.

Oprah was picking up a friend at the airport and looked happy and at ease.

She went with the natural look and let her long frizzy hair fall onto her shoulders. The talk show queen stepped out with minimal make-up and donned a casual outfit.

She was wearing a short-sleeved crewneck dark blue blouse with a matching pair of capri pants. Oprah sported a pair of sunglasses and completed the cool ensemble with a pair of flip-flops.

The Butler spans more than 50 years of history and a series of presidents as it spotlights the US civil rights struggle through the life and career of a White House servant.

Inspired by Eugene Allen, who held the post for 34 years, the film is already seen as a serious contender for the Oscars.

Allen’s persona was used to create a character called Cecil Gaines, played by Forest Whitaker.

Through Gaines, viewers are taken from cotton fields in segregationist Georgia to the election of Barack Obama as America’s first black president in 2008.
