Taken from us so young. She suffered a tragic accident while playing a particularly tough game of rugby.
Seriously, she was really old, and I had no idea she was still alive. I think she was the last living woman to have dated any of the Founding Fathers.
Kidding aside, she had a most impressive career. In fact she had at least two impressive careers, having reached the top in legitimate broadcast journalism, then reaching the top again in that touchy-feely human interest chit-chat.

If Barbara Walters came back as a tree, what kind of tree would she be?
“While in college she dated Roy Cohn, who later was a prosecutor in the Rosenberg espionage case and a mentor to former President Donald Trump.”

Walters’ private life also revolved around celebrity. She was married four times to three men, had a rocky five-year affair with then Senator Edward Brooke of Massachusetts, and dated other prominent figures. But none of the relationships stuck.
