BARBARA WALTERS

Barbara Walters was the face of many news magazine shows for years. She was a capable journalist, author, producer, and television personality during her time. She started as a writer and researcher for The Today Show, but slowly made her way to the ladder until she became the “Today Girl.” Since that unexpected event in 1974, Barbara became the show’s regular female host.

She endlessly poured all of her effort, time, and energy into her craft. Eventually, all of her investments paid off as she became one of the premier hosts in the industry. TV Guide had her as one of the 50 Greatest TV Stars of All Time in 1996. Among her awards and recognition is a Lifetime Achievement Award from the National Academy of Television Arts and Science for 60 marvelous years of her service in the industry.
