A legend of American journalism dies
Barbara Walters

Barbara Walters, the first news anchor known for many historic and daring interviews, has died at the age of 93. Walters began her journalism career in 1961 with NBC News and rose through the ranks of the male-dominated industry to make history by becoming the first female co-anchor of a US news program, on the morning show of called the Today Show on NBC.

"Barbara Walters passed away peacefully at her home surrounded by loved ones. She lived her life without looking back and was a pioneer not only for female journalists, but for all women," said a statement.

In 1976, Walters joined ABC News, becoming the first female anchor of an evening program.

Born in Boston at the start of the Great Depression in 1929, she won 12 Emmy Awards. Barbara grew up around celebrities, one reason she never seemed worried about interviewing them.

Like every US president from Richard Nixon to Donald Trump, she interviewed a host of music and pop culture stars.

During her long career she also interviewed a long list of world leaders, including UK Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, Russian President Vladimir Putin, Cuban President Fidel Castro as well as Syrian President Bashar al-Assad months after a public uprising that it would eventually turn into the country's civil war.

Her shows, some of which she produced, were among the most acclaimed of their kind, among them "The View" which debuted in 1997, "The Talk" and "The Chew", as well as "Loose Women" and others. She retired from her 52-year career in 2014 with a final appearance on her show The View where she joined Hillary Clinton and Oprah Winfrey on the program.
