Barbara Walters graduated from Sarah Lawrence College with a BA in English. After college, she became the youngest producer at a New York television station.
She was the first female to anchor a news broadcast, in 1976, when she co-anchored 'ABC Evening News' with Harry Reasoner. She was also the first female co-anchor of the 'Today' show.
She has interviewed every president since Richard Nioxon, and her Monica Lewinsky interview is the highest rated interview ever.
She is currently the co-host of the daytime… More talk show, 'The View,' and she continues to have high-rated celebrity interviews on Oscar night.

Does Barbara really think the world revolves around her? Do know how many people have had heart problems from bypasses to replacing valves, seriously give us a break, it's not all about Barbara hide show
Barbara is too goody two shoes and thinks the world does revolve around her and what she thinks. No thanks Barbara! The show was good with Rosie, and it's good with Whoopie and is probably why people did and still do watch the show. Joy is bossy and Elizabeth is her exact opposite. The two of them can't seem to come to any compromise. It gets very aggravating. Whoopi is the only one who makes any sense and she doesn't get to get 2 words in half the time, especially if Barbara is on. Everybody stop talking because Barbara has something to say, OMG! Sherry just seems to go one way or the other, she's pretty cool. Let someone else talk Barbara, no one cares how many people you know or have talked to you're no special than anyone else.
I have respect for Barbara Walters. I can't understand why so many people dislike her so much. She seems like she is an okay person. I am surprised she has lasted this long in the business. I don't know if it is because she is a tough old bird or if it is just because she is different. I think she has done more than her fair share of interviews and it really is mind blowing to think how many times she keeps on interviewing more. Overall, she is an okay person who has managed to stay active enough to be a pain at times. Thank you.
Barbara Walters was once a respected even revered journalist;but has become a foolish biased old woman with nothing relevent to say..gee where was the gushing, panting slobbering 'oh you are sooo sexy' when john McCain was on?Shame on you Barbara!! hide show
Can't stand to watch a bunch of women who are so full of themselves gush and blather on endlessly about nothing...those that can't are on the view~those that can are out there doing it and keeping their big mouths shut and their opinions to themselves...BTW I have considered myself a liberal until I watched this tripe!!!Elizabeth probably has the smallest brain of the bunch but continually come off looking like an Einstein next to the rest...I feel it is time for celebrities to keep their mouths and opinions to themselves when it comes to choosing the leaders of this country..because we ALL know Oprah's soo good at judging character don't we?

I have lost all respect for Barbara. She has become a rude, inconsiderate, cold interviewer who is unkind to her guests. She doesn't understand that everyone is NOT liberal like her. "The View" would be better if Joy was gone and Barbara was nicer. hide show
Barbara Walters has become an unkind, often cruel interviewer who can be so disrespectful to her guests that it makes me sick. Joy is too liberal and needs to be removed from "The View". The show just continues to go downhill. They don't understand not everyone is Liberal. The majority of them are so unkind to anyone conservative or Republican who happens to be on their show. They would not want to be treated that way, so why would they be so unkind. They have gotten to rude and always interrupting guests when they are tryingto talk (especially if they don't agree with their guests views). Down with The View and Barbara Walters!!!!
Has Barbara lowered herself from a world class Journalist to a T.V. National Inquirer? hide show
Growing up, I always knew that if Barbara Walters was interviewing someone, it had to be someone very important and with something important to say. I always thought that she knew exactly what to ask and how to ask it no matter how risky or bold. When I saw the 1 hour visit from Barack Obama on the View, my thoughts of her were shattered. The other ladies on the view are more like tabloid and T.V. personalities but Barbara has interviewed Kings, Princesses, Royalty, Presidents, and the most important people in the world. She is in a class of her own. So why did she not ask the important questions to Obama? Was she afraid for the first time? Why was his opinions and beliefs on religion and race more important than his actual detailed plans for our struggling economy, the removal of our troops from Iraq, the impeachment of Bush/Cheney, NAFTA guidelines, our health system, and so many other important issues? I felt as though the Barbara Walters I thought so highly of and respected was gone and in her body was a National Inquirer T.V. personality. I am a struggling American single mother of 3 and I could care less about personal opinions and religious beliefs. I want to hear strong solid plans based on undenyable facts. Barbara, it's time to interview Senator Clinton and ask about the detailed plans to get the economy back on track. She at least deserves as much time as Obama. That's only fair, right? If he wins the nomination, it will not be based on the issues, it will be based on the fact that the media and tv talk shows have given him all the free air time that Clinton can't afford to buy. It will have been all about race. And Obama says that's not what his campaign is about. That is rediculous. The media and you Barbara have made it so.
