Barbara Walters | 92 Years Old

Barbara Jill Walters rose to a prominent degree as the segment producer of The Today Show. She was the first female to “co-host” for a news program. Because she was so popular with the audience, the station decided to give her more air time. She’s known for her blunt, no-nonsense style of speech and would speak whatever comes to her mind.

Walters was the first female co-anchor of any network evening news when she worked with Harry Reasoner on the ABC Evening News. She was an ambitious woman who became a role model for other female journalists. She has since hosted many morning television programs, including Today and The View. Walters also co-hosted and produced the news magazine 20/20 for 25 years.
