Barbara Walters, the iconic TV journalist known for her interviews with presidents, world leaders and Hollywood stars, has died at the age of 93, a representative for Walters confirmed to CBS News Friday night. "Barbara Walters passed away peacefully in her home surrounded by loved ones. She lived her life with no regrets. She was a trailblazer not only for female journalists, but for all women," representative Cindi Berger said in a statement.
I thought it was remarkable and excellent timing on Barbara's part that her death was breaking news during 20/20 Friday night. I thought that Hugh Downs would have been proud of her timing. I thought she was an incredible journalist and many, many women can thank her and owe their careers to her drive and ambition, and her competitive spirit. It also seemed quite right that her name became more famous than some of the men who did not want to work with her. Well done, Barbara.
