Barbara Walters Tell Me Everything
It baffles me that this film from ABC News Studios and Imagine’s documentary unit isn’t airing on ABC (which instead is showing repeats of the true-crime series Scamanda), but any profile of legendary TV news personality Barbara Walters is going to be fascinating on any platform. Walters broke barriers throughout her astonishing five-decade career, from NBC‘s Today show to co-anchoring ABC’s evening news, and moving on to 20/20, creating The View and hosting a series of highly rated and sensational interview specials with celebrities (often on Oscar night) and newsmakers. The feature-length profile features her professional triumphs as well as her thorny personal life, with commentary from colleagues and friends including Joy Behar, Connie Chung, Katie Couric, Andy Cohen, Bette Midler, and Oprah Winfrey.
