RIP Barbara Walters

[Wylie6G72]

Just one day left in 2022, and I say good riddance to a year that took so many icons. RIP to a another big name, and a fixture in my life since childhood.

She truly was one of a kind.

I bet she couldn’t make ME cry in an interview!

Bummed for sure….

I noticed a lot of news anchorwomen wanted to talk and sound like Barbara.

I really enjoyed her interviews. RIP.

Baba Wawa is gone? Sad.

She and walter Cronkite were two of the reasons that I went into journalism. Barbara Walters said in an interview that she was furious that she was parodied on snl. Years later she realized that she'd become a big enough household name to be parodied.

Sorry to hear this. Yet another Icon - that was always there from teen to adulthood - has passed.

Hoping for an uneventful and largely mundane 2023!
