In her autobiography, Barbara revealed she had a two year affair in the 1970's with then Senator Edward Brooke. (edit) In May 2008, Barbara's autobiography Audition was released and immediately went to the top of the New York Times Bestsellers List. (edit) Barbara was listed at #75 in Forbes magazine's Celebrity 100 of 2007. (edit) Barbara's top three interviews of her career are Fidel Castro in 1977, Michael Jackson in 1997 and Monica Lewinsky in 1999. (edit) In 1976, Barbara Walters played the lady bank teller in the movie Crazy Mama. (edit)

Barbara Walters: The most dominant person in my life was Jackie. I was embarrassed by her, and at the same time I loved her very much. I always knew I had to take care of Jackie — financially support her, but more than that. The sadness of her life gave me an understanding, and a compassion, and a pain in my heart (edit) Barbara Walters: (on how she got started in TV): At a certain point I had to work. I had to support my whole family. My father was, I guess, what we would call an impresario. He produced great, glorious shows, kind of like Las Vegas shows, in at the time the most famous nightclub in America, called the Latin Quarter. Many comedians still know me as Lou A's daughter. But like many great impresarios, my father died broke, and I supported the family from the time I was about 22 or 23. I had to work. And I had a sister who was older than I, who was borderline retarded. (edit) Barbara Walters: I was the kind nobody thought could make it. I had a funny Boston accent. I couldn't pronounce my R's. I wasn't a beauty. (edit) Barbara Walters: (On interviewing) I find very often people like to confront rumors. It depends on how much they trust you. And you have to have a line between what is tasteful and what isn't. (edit) Barbara Walters: My own opinion is that there's far too little flirtation in our country as it is. Most attractive males talk to most attractive women as if they were Rotarians comparing sales percentages in Des Moines. (edit)
