Dr. Oz is a celebrity heart surgeon who gained fame as a regular on ‘The Oprah Winfrey Show’ before starring in ‘The Dr. Oz Show.’ Dr. Oz is a renowned heart surgeon who has brought complementary medicine into the mainstream as a television personality, radio host and author. His first TV show, Second Opinion with Dr. Oz, lasted just one season, but regular gigs on Oprah Winfrey’s show cemented his celebrity doctor status. Oz now hosts his own health-centric TV series, The Dr. Oz Show.
In 1994, Oz established the Cardiovascular Institute and Integrative Medicine Program at New York-Presbyterian Hospital. Media exposure followed, and with his wife, he co-authored the book Healing from the Heart: A Leading Surgeon Combines Eastern and Western Traditions to Create the Medicine of the Future, which was released in 1998.
After Oz landed Winfrey as a guest on his show, a warm working relationship developed. The talk show queen invited the surgeon to make regular appearances on her TV series, The Oprah Winfrey Show, and her radio program, Oprah & Friends. Anointed “America’s doctor” by Winfrey, Oz embraced his celebrity status with guest spots on a number of news programs and talk shows. He also began publishing the bestselling YOU book series and penning columns for Esquire and other media outlets.
Oz’s popularity rose to such heights that Winfrey offered to co-produce a TV series for him. The Dr. Oz Show debuted in 2009 to the highest daytime TV ratings on record in nine years and went on to win numerous Emmy Awards.
In addition to hosting the TV show, Oz continues to serve as vice-chairman and professor of surgery at the Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons. He also branched out into a new form of media in 2014 with the launch of a lifestyle magazine, The Good Life.
Married since 1985, the couple has collaborated on numerous projects, including the bestselling YOU book series. They have four children, with their oldest daughter, Daphne, following in her father’s footsteps as a TV host and author.

Laura Chinchilla, in full Laura Chinchilla Miranda, (born March 28, 1959, Desamparados, Costa Rica), Costa Rican politician who served as vice president (2006–08) and president (2010–14) of Costa Rica.
Chinchilla gained her first public office in 1994, when she became vice minister of public security under Pres. José María Figueres Olsen of the National Liberation Party (Partido Liberación Nacional; PLN). She was promoted in 1996 to minister of public security, a post she held for two years. In 2002, as a member of the social-democratic PLN, Chinchilla won a four-year term in Costa Rica’s Legislative Assembly, where she represented the province of San José. Building on her established commitment to public security and justice, she focused her legislative efforts on combating organized crime, public corruption, domestic violence, and crimes affecting children. She also called for free-trade agreements with various global trading partners and the liberalization of state-controlled components of the economy.
On February 7, 2010, Chinchilla won the presidential election with 46.8 percent of the vote—more than 20 percentage points ahead of the runner-up, Ottón Solís Fallas of the centre-left Citizen Action Party (Partido Acción Ciudadana; PAC), who had been Arias’s main challenger in 2006.
Soon after Chinchilla took office in May 2010, a long-standing border dispute with Nicaragua escalated in the area of Calero Island. When Nicaragua began dredging the San Juan River, Chinchilla’s administration claimed a violation of its country’s sovereignty. In October 2010 Nicaragua sent troops to the region, and Costa Rica responded by mobilizing members of its police force. Chinchilla’s government later filed a brief with the International Court of Justice, which in 2011 ordered both sides to remove their forces. Although she was largely praised for her handling of the situation, Chinchilla’s popularity waned over domestic issues, notably her inability to institute tax reform. In addition, her administration was marred by allegations of corruption, which led several high-level officials to resign. Her term ended in May 2014, and she was succeeded by Luis Guillermo Solís.
Chinchilla was later involved with various organizations, including the Inter-American Dialogue. She also was a fellow at Georgetown University’s Institute of Politics and Public Service.
