(AP) - A Connecticut woman who was mauled and blinded
after a 200-pound chimpanzee attacked her in February will appear
on "The Oprah Winfrey Show."

Chicago-based Harpo Productions announced Monday in a statement
that Charla Nash would appear on Wednesday's episode of Winfrey's
talk show. Harpo says Nash "will discuss how she's adjusting to a
new way of life, how she maintains her incredible spirit, and what
the future holds for her."

The chimpanzee named Travis belonged to Nash's friend and
employer, Sandra Herold. Nash was attacked by the animal after
Herold asked her to help lure the chimpanzee back into Herold's
house in Stamford, Conn.

The animal ripped off Nash's hands, nose, lips and eyelids.

You can watch Oprah on CBS 3 Springfield everyday at 5pm.
