Barbara Walters, a broadcast legend and pioneer who became the first woman to co-host a morning and evening newscast, died at age 93, ABC News announced during a live special report Friday. "We were all influenced by Barbara Walters," ABC News' David Muir said in a tribute Friday, remembering Walters as an "extraordinary human being, journalist, pioneer, legend." "She broke barriers behind the scenes and she broke news on-camera. She got people to say things they never would've said to another journalist." The daughter of a nightclub owner, Walters got into television to support the family after he went broke. She went on to a career asking questions about the public and private lives of the powerful, rich, famous and infamous. And no other woman in television journalism had a longer career, with more hits and flops, scoops and controversies, praise and ridicule. Click the link in @usatoday’s bio to learn more.
