Dana and her sister

While You Were Out Makeover
One of the best moments for one show team was getting to surprise one of their own. For 10 years, Dana had wanted her sister Clarice to come on the show for a makeover. Clarice finally gave in—but everyone kept it a secret from Dana!

On the day of the show, Oprah pulled Dana out of her office, put her in front of the cameras and revealed her sister's radical new look. "I feel for every guest I've ever done this to," confessed Dana.

But Dana's professional instincts saved her from being overwhelmed with stage fright. "I'm having a whole conversation with myself: 'Dana, you're segment one and you're a really bad guest! You've got to snap out of this!'"
