How Barbara Walters Impacted The Culture, From That Mike Tyson And Robin Givens Interview To Creating ‘The View’
For many, Walters is most famous for creating and hosting The View, a woman-centric daytime talk show that has become a staple for hot topics for the past 25 years. At its inception in 1997, The View sought to give a platform to women from different walks of life. Along the way, multiple Black women rose to prominence or experienced newfound success on The View, including Star Jones, Sherri Shepherd, Raven-Symoné and Whoopi Goldberg, who has hosted and moderated the show since 2007.
On Tuesday, Goldberg, who Walters first interviewed as a young actress in 1991, led The View’s tribute to Walters.
#WhoopiGoldberg reflects on meeting Barbara Walters for the first time and shares how they both bonded over motherhood while balancing demanding careers.
