Oprah Winfrey seems pretty excited about returning to the big screen in The Butler, the upcoming Lee Daniels film based on the life of Eugene Allen, a White House butler who served eight different U.S. presidents.
In the movie, Forest Whitaker portrays the butler and Winfrey his wife.
On Saturday, the onetime talk show queen tweeted photos as makeup artists made a silicon cast of her face for the role.

“Feeling a little claustrophobic in here,” wrote Oprah mid-way through the process.
While Oprah has lent her voice to projects including Bee Movie and The Princess and the Frog, The Butler marks her first on-screen acting role since 1998′s Beloved.
