Easy to forget because of her role in TV news later in her life on 20/20 and her biopic celebrity hour long specials. But Walters was a pioneering women in Network news.

Well lived Barbara.
Over last 365 days, we've lost Betty White, Queen Elizabeth, Angela Lansbury, Loretta Lynn and now Barbara Walters. All in their 90s.
There's not too many famous 90+ year old women left. Looking at this list, I'd say the most famous ones are Rita Moreno, Barbara Eden and Eva Marie Saint.

Celebrities Over 90 Years Old: Then and Now
From Jane Goodall to Willie Nelson, see some of the most famous celebrities over 90 years old with these side-by-side photos at the beginning of their careers vs. today.
Relic of a better time. 20/20 was an unorthodox way to cap off a night that also consisted of Family Matters, Boy Meets World, Step By Step and the fourth show that never seemed to fly with the others.
How dare you talk about My 2 Dads and Dinosaurs like that.
Sorry, all of my emotional bandwidth is still tied up in Coolio's death.
I appreciate what she did and the great groundbreaking career she had, but I can never forgive her for leaving us with the View, which was marketed as her brainchild.
I never feel too sad when a celebrity passes away in their 90s. They lived a long and fulfilling life and had good health to carry them to that old age. That's all you can really ask for in a good life. I feel more sad for the celebrities that die before their time usually due to disease, accident, or of their own doing (drugs, suicide, etc.). The same can be said for friends and family.
She did great work when she was younger and kind of ruined it by going on the View. Which is basics trash
Watching her simp hard for Hollywood pedos pissed me off. Actors like Corey Haim were killing themselves and there have always been the rumors. But Walters couldn’t believe it? How bad was she at her job? She knew.
I rarely do, only when it's someone I thought still had more to give. Examples:
Taylor Hawkins: Too young, had kids, Foo Fighters still rock, can't imagine them playing without him. He just had a great personality. I loved a lot of commentary/interviews that he did.
Norm McDonald: Norm is probably tops for me when it comes to comedy. He was also pretty young. He's had a few projects he's tried that didn't really take off like a Netflix show and another show on some weird channel. People always approached him with ideas but he was just to 'Norm' and never really cared or wanted to put in effort. I wish he would have put energy into a good show for the fans as he's funny as ****.
Other than that, meh, good to remember what they did for a hot minute, then on to the next thing in my day.
