I didn't even know she was still alive. It's gotten to the point where now news of famous people dying surprises me because I thought they already died years ago.

Barbara was a quite the pioneer on television, with her interviews and everything else, a lot of awards won, star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, a lot of friends in industry who loved and honored her, including her good friend Whoopi Goldberg who showed concern for her and knew of her condition lately. Also, of course she was part of the TMNT universe here in 1991.

Rest well in heaven Barbara Walters, and congratulations on such a well-accomplished life.

In case you wanted to know, if you didn't already, Bobbie Wygant, another big face in female broadcast journalism and interviews is currently still alive at 96.

I kinda had more familiarity with the parodies of her in 80s/90s cartoons then her actual work, but she is one of the legends of broadcast journalism.

Rest in peace to the lady who made Donnie cry and laughed hysterically about it.

Definitely an interesting life she led with all those she was able to meet and interview.
