When Barbara Walters died on Friday at the age of 93, she left behind a legacy of broadcast journalism, a career which first started in 1961 on NBC. She also left behind a popular television program she had created, ABC's long-running talk show "The View," which first debuted in 1997.
Walters conducted the first interview Monica Lewinsky ever agreed to (and Lewinsky paid tribute to the journalist on Twitter after Walters' death). She interviewed every sitting president — and first lady — from Richard and Pat Nixon to Barack and Michelle Obama. She was known for being brash, bordering on harsh, with her trademark invasive questions that more than a few times seemed to cross a line. She also co-hosted "The View" from 1997 to 2014, returning even after her official retirement to serve as occasional guest co-host.
