US news anchor Barbara Walters dies aged 93 – BBC News


US TV broadcaster Barbara Walters has died aged 93, after a career spanning half a century.

She became the first US female network news anchor when she joined ABC News in 1976, and is widely regarded as a trailblazer for women in television and journalism.

During her career she interviewed a long list of world leaders including Margaret Thatcher, Vladimir Putin, Fidel Castro and every US President from Richard Nixon to Donald Trump.

"I have been blessed with a life I never expected," Walters said back in 2000 as she received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences.
