As the first female anchor of an American network nightly news broadcast and one of TV's most renowned interviewers, Barbara Walters was one of the most well-known women on American television. She passed away at the age of 93.
Ms. Walters, who founded the well-liked ABC women's chat show The View in 1997, passed away at her New York residence, according to a statement from Robert Iger, CEO of ABC's corporate company, The Walt Disney Co.
Her death's circumstances weren't disclosed.
Barbara was a "real legend," Mr. Iger remarked, "a pioneer not just for women in journalism but for journalism itself."
Over the course of her five-decade broadcasting career, Ms. Walters interviewed a variety of world leaders, including Fidel Castro of Cuba, Margaret Thatcher of Britain, Muammar Gaddafi of Libya, Saddam Hussein of Iraq, Boris Yeltsin and Vladimir Putin of Russia, and every US president and first lady since Richard and Pat Nixon.
She earned 12 Emmy awards, 11 of those while at ABC News, the network said.
