Barbara Walters, the trailblazing television news broadcaster and longtime ABC News anchor and correspondent who shattered the glass ceiling and became a dominant force in an industry once dominated by men, has died. She was 93.
Growing up around celebrities taught a young Barbara a lesson that she relied upon throughout her career. "Much of the need I had to prove myself, to achieve, to provide, to protect, can be traced to my feelings about Jackie. But there must be something more, the 'Something' that makes one need to excel," she added."Some may call it ambition. I can live with that. Some may call it insecurity, although that is such a boring, common label, like being called shy, that means little.
In 1976, Walters found a new home on ABC's"Evening News," making history as the first female co-anchor of an evening news program. Upon the death of Castro in 2016, Walters released a statement saying the dictator had called her two interviews with him"fiery debates." Walters also interviewed every U.S. president and first lady from the Nixons to the Obamas. She interviewed President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump before they entered the White House.
She was honored in 2001 with a wax portrait of her likeness at Madame Tussauds in New York City and in 2007 she was awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
