Biography

Early life

Walters was born in Boston, Massachusetts, the daughter of Dena (née Seletsky) and Louis Edward Walters, a theatrical booking agent and producer.^[3] In 1937, her father opened the first of a famous chain of nightclubs known as the Latin Quarter; he also was a Broadway producer (he produced the Ziegfeld Follies of 1943).^[4] Walters' elder sister, Jacqueline, was born developmentally disabled^[5] and died of ovarian cancer in 1985. Her brother, Burton, died in 1932 of pneumonia.^[6] Walters' parents were Jewish, although she did not have a religious upbringing, as her father had become an atheist.^[7] Boston redirects here. ...

An Atheist Jew is a member of the Jewish community who does not believe in God but still considers himself or herself a Jew. ...

Being surrounded by celebrities when she was young kept her from being "in awe" of them.^[5] When she was a young woman, Walters' father lost his nightclubs and the family's penthouse on Central Park West. As Walters recalled, "He had a breakdown. He went down to live in our house in Florida, and then the Government took the house, and they took the car, and they took the furniture". Of her mother, she said, "My mother should have married the way her friends did, a man who was a doctor or who was in the dress business".^[8] This article is about the U.S. State of Florida. ...

After attending Fieldston and Birch Wathen^[9][10] private schools in New York City,^[6] Walters graduated from Miami Beach High School in 1947. In 1951 she received a B.A. in English from Sarah Lawrence College.^[11] Fieldston may refer to: Fieldston, a neighborhood in The Bronx, New York. ...

Career and accolades

After a brief period as a publicist with Tex McCrary Inc. and a job as a writer at CBS News, Walters joined NBC's The Today Show as a writer and researcher in 1961.^[5] She moved up to become that show's regular "Today Girl", handling lighter assignments. Within a year she had become a reporter-at-large developing, writing, and editing her own reports and interviews.^[5] When Frank McGee was named host, he refused to do joint interviews with Walters unless he was given the first question. She was not named co-host of the show until McGee's death in 1974, when NBC officially designated Walters as the program's first female co-host.

Frank McGee (born September 12, 1915 - Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, USA; died April 17, 1974) was a television journalist. ...

Walters has seldom minced words when describing the visible, on-the-air disdain her co-anchor, Harry Reasoner, displayed for her when she was teamed up with him on the ABC Evening News in 1976-78. Reasoner had a difficult relationship with Walters because he disliked having a co-anchor, even though he worked with former CBS colleague Howard K. Smith nightly on ABC for several years. In 1981, five years after the start of their short-lived ABC partnership and well after Reasoner returned to CBS News, Walters and her former co-anchor had a memorable (and cordial) 20/20 interview on the occasion of Reasoner's new book release.

Walters is also known for her years on the ABC newsmagazine 20/20 where she joined host Hugh Downs in 1979.^[5] Throughout her career at ABC, Walters has appeared on ABC news specials as a commentator, including presidential inaugurations and the coverage of 9/11. Many of her regular and special programs are syndicated around the world. As of 2004, she is in semi-retirement as a broadcast journalist, but remains a correspondent for ABC News as well as a host of ABC's special programs.

Interviews

Walters started to gain a reputation for her interview skills while at The Today Show. Not all of her interviewees remain dry-eyed, and critics accuse Walters of pumping for the ratings-generating public tears. Critics have also accused Walters of not posing enough tough questions to her subjects, relying mainly on so-called "softball" questions to elicit sometimes unexpected answers.^{[citation needed]} Her Barbara Walters Specials are top-rated and, since 1993, her year-end Ten Most Fascinating People offers a review of the year's most prominent newsmakers. Prior to the move of the Academy Awards to an early Sunday evening time spot, a Walters interview show, usually featuring one or more of the top nominees, was a regular feature. Walters' celebrity interviews at ABC came as part of her $1 million contract to join ABC, with half of it coming from the news department and half from doing celebrity specials. Academy Award The Academy Awards, popularly known as the Oscars, are the most prominent and most watched film awards ceremony in the world. ...

Walters is known for "personality journalism" and her "scoop" interviews.^[5] In November 1977 she achieved a joint interview with Egypt's President Anwar Al Sadat and Israel's Prime Minister Menachem Begin.

Walters was widely lampooned in 1981, and often since, when, during an interview with actress Katharine Hepburn, Walters is incorrectly identified as having posed the question: "If you were a tree, what kind would you be?" As she has often pointed out, and the video clips confirm, Hepburn initiated the comment by saying she would like to be a tree, and Walters merely followed up with, "What kind of a tree?"^[12][5] Katharine Houghton Hepburn (May 12, 1907 – June 29, 2003) was an American actress of film, television and stage. ...

In the 2008 Barbara Walters Oscar Special, Walters appeared confused on a number of occasions while interviewing Harrison Ford. At one point, Walters asks Ford what first comes to his mind after mentioning the movie Blade Runner in which he plays the lead role. Harrison responded, "Ridley, Ridley, Ridley". Upon hearing this, Walters seemed perplexed, asking, "Ridley? Ridley who?", indicating that Walters was unaware that acclaimed director Ridley Scott had directed the film.
