Barbara Walters, legendary news anchor, has died at 93

Barbara Walters, the pioneering TV journalist whose interviewing skills made her one of the most prominent figures in broadcasting, has died, her spokesperson confirmed to CNN. She was 93.

“Barbara Walters passed away peacefully in her home surrounded by loved ones. She lived her life with no regrets. She was a trailblazer not only for female journalists but for all women,” Walters’ spokesperson Cindi Berger told CNN in a statement.

About a million years ago, she had a morning show called "Not for Women Only," which I admired tremendously, and she published a book called How to Talk with Practically Anybody about Practically Anything, very helpful to me at the start of my career in Human Resources as I conducted hundreds of employment interviews over the years.

Some of her critics said that she included her affair with a U.S. Senator in her last book just to sell more books, and if that's true, it was a crummy thing to do. Overall, even if it is true, I still admire her fearlessness and appreciate the trails she blazed.
