Barbara Walters is a veteran broadcaster known especially for her interviews with world leaders and A-list celebrities. Walters’s long career in national television began in the late 1950s. She spent fifteen years (1961-76) with NBC as a correspondent and co-host for ‘The Today Show’, then jumped to ABC News in 1976 to become the first woman to co-anchor a nightly news show.
Walters became one of the most high-profile women in television broadcasting, a pioneer in a field dominated by men. She had a long run on ABC’s 20/20 (1979-2004), and a popular series of ‘The Barbara Walters Specials’, in which she interviewed personalities from politics and entertainment, including Menachem Begin and Anwar Sadat, Monica Lewinsky, Fidel Castro, Demi Moore, George Clooney, and the Dalai Lama. Since leaving 20/20, Walters has concentrated on the daytime talk show she created, ‘The View’, occasional interview scoops and her annual review of newsmakers, ‘The 10 Most Fascinating People’.
