I would like to use this photo from Oprah Winfrey as a cover image for a youtube video. Does anyone have an idea from where I could get this video and get all necessary copyrights to publish and modify? Highly appreciate your feedback.

As far as I can understand Youtube you can't.

Alternatively, there are by Attribution images of her in e.g. Flickr or Wikipedia, or you can contact directly at oprah dot com and ask?
You have nothing to lose by asking. The worst thing will be to deny to you! :)
 
I dont know the answer sorry but I am impressed that you are checking and seeking out the correct way to go.

I've posted this before in another thread. Here it is again:


Here is a tip for a good source of celebrity photos (and any photo for that matter) which you can use for free so long as you give credit in the description. - Wikipedia. Do a search on Wikipedia for a celebrity, click on the article and then click on a photo that you like. That will take you to a page with all the license information. If it's creative commons or public domain you may use it so long as you give full credit (see below)

Example:

1) Go to wikipedia and search for "Felicity Jones." (British actress) and click on her page -> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Felicity_Jones
2) As you can see, there are 3 photos of her on that page. Let's click on the first one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Felicity_Jones#/media/File:Felicity_Jones_December_2016.jpg
3) On that photo page, click on the blue "more details" button at the bottom of the page. It will take you to the page with all the license info for the photo: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Felicity_Jones_December_2016.jpg

4)On the license info page, click on "use this file on the web" and it will give you all the license info and how to give credit. YOU MUST PUT THE CREDIT EXACTLY AS WRITTEN THERE IN THE DESCRIPTION OF YOUR VIDEO! Example for this image, you would put:

"Felicity Jones December 2016" By D ick Thomas Johnson from Tokyo, Japan [CC BY 2.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0)], via Wikimedia Commons

That is how to use celebrity photos in YouTube videos.
