Walters is most recognized for co-hosting the top-rated ABC News magazine show 20/20 for 25 years and founding the ABC all-female host talk show “The View,” as well as breaking numerous barriers for women in broadcasting. She was the first female co-host of a U.S. network news program (on NBC’s “Today” show) and the first female network news anchor (on ABC Evening News). Highlights from her extensive list of interviewees include Prince Charles, Fidel Castro, King Hussein of Jordan and his wife, the Shah of Iran, Katharine Hepburn, Elizabeth Taylor, Oprah Winfrey, and every U.S. President and First Lady from Richard and Pat Nixon to Barack and Michelle Obama.
