Barbara Walters, the trailblazing television news broadcaster and longtime ABC News anchor and correspondent who shattered the glass ceiling and became a dominant force in an industry once dominated by men, has died. She was 93.
Walters joined ABC News in 1976, becoming the first female anchor on an evening news program. Three years later, she became a co-host of "20/20," and in 1997, she launched "The View." In a career that spanned five decades, Walters won 12 Emmy awards, 11 of those while at ABC News.
She made her final appearance as a co-host of "The View" in 2014, but remained an executive producer of the show and continued to do some interviews and specials for ABC News.
"I do not want to appear on another program or climb another mountain," she said at the time. "I want instead to sit on a sunny field and admire the very gifted women -- and OK, some men too -- who will be taking my place."

Oh my gosh!
Thank you for posting that skit!
So funny! Gilda was adorable!!!
I love seeing people show up in movies, too, but I mostly watch the really old ones.
It’s what she did when she got there.
Do you ever have anything decent to say?
watch Norma MacDonald on the View in 2000:
‘I hope the Democrats don’t steal the election’
These ##### on the view were nasty libs since it’s inception. Watch how they treat Norm. Horrible people. May God have mercy on her soul.

I miss Norm so much, we really needed him now.
“with Egyptian President Anwar Sadat on his plans to end his country’s fighting with Lebanon.”
Didn’t know Egypt was at war with Lebanon.
I thought it was Israel. Who knew?
Dead wood?
They would have had to crawl across Israel to do that. He probably was supporting one of the factions there though.
Your post reminds me of something I learned a while ago. “If you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all.” -Thumper’s mom
Oooh I’ll bet them flames are hot, Barabas lol…
Probably but the article mention Lebanon, not a certain faction, of which there were many .
“And the republican senator from Massachusetts”
It was Senator Brooks, the first black senator not from the deep South. And he was married at the time.
A double plus good in the Liberals scorebook.
Punk fashion designer who died yesterday Vivienne Westwood, 94; feminist newswoman Baba Wawa who died today, 93; both waiting for Pope Benedict, 95. That’ll be some Class of ‘22.
Good widdance.
Love her or hate her, she had some huge “gets”.
Looks like Benedict is going to get the full ‘pope’ treatment... Vatican state funeral.
She was the softball pitching champion of interviewing.
Chung whispering to Mrs.Gingrich, “You can tell me what you think about Hillary. It’ll be a secret between us.”
Mrs. Gingrich, “She’s a bitch!”
Chung: “Breaking news!”
LOL, I had forgotten about that one.
*meh
I’d have showed up in person and told that boss you and me need to step outside
