This was beautifully written and delivered. I love journalism. Real journalism. I loved Barbara's style also. I never missed her speacials. I will miss her, tho. RIP.
A lot of people don't remember that when Barbara Walters left The Today Show in 1976, Jane Pauley was her replacement at only 25 years old! Its so nice to see the student praising the teacher. Barbara was a trailblazer at ABC just as Jane was at NBC and now CBS. She will be missed
Crazy, I didn't realize how many years I've watched Jane until she showed her with the 70s set! Regardless Barbara did break the glass. ceiling for women being hard nosed and doing an amazing job. She will be sorely missed. RIP to a long time fan.
What a memorable tribute, Ms. Pauley. Barbara is smiling down upon you, already, with your words of wisdom and remembrance about her. Even I know she was well-respected, just like you. And we all will miss her, forever and ever, as well as remembering all her fond interviews of the past. What a life she lived, indeed.
Growing up, watching news shows like 60-minutes and 20/20 was the highlight of my week. Barbara Walters had an air about her that was both soft, strong and stall ward. I appreciated how she didn't really interview, but sat in conversation, engaging, interesting, invoking, inspiring conversation with some the world's for most leaders and trailblazers in their own right. Her groundbreaking journalism opened the door and lead the path for generations of female journalists. I can oy imagine how her conversation/interview with God will be like. Rest in Peace 🕊️💜
Absolutely wonderful tribute. Many celebrities say they realized they'd "made it" when Walters called them for an interview. She was a tenacious, sneaky interviewer and she could somehow get people to tell stories to her they wouldn't relate to anyone else. I've worked with a couple of newspaper reporters like that, and they're worth their weight in solid platinum! She was, and continues to be, a trailblazer, even after her passing. May she rest well.
Barbara Walters is absolutely and unequivocally one of the top 10 of most influential people on planet Earth. Sorry if I did not articulate with the Is utmost eloquence.
I grew up listening to her on the news and her interviews - wow! Her legacy touched all woman; many still striving to be heard and have a voice. Thank you Ms Barbara Walters!
Thank you Ms. Pauly, you are a legend in your own right, but, Barbara Walters is the Greatest of all time! We shall miss her, she opened the door and each one who followed never allowed it to close. She set the standard that others aspired too! And she inspired generations of women who saw that with hard work, dedication, compassion, and honesty there was no limitations to what a person could do. Barbara’s light now shines brightly in the heavens!
Just turned 40. Growing up in Kentucky I was constantly looking for something more. As a member of the LGBTQA+ community I felt so small in KY. Barbara showed me that others out there were like me. That I was going to be okay. With The View started my love of TV production. Thanks to Barbara I am still an Event Manager & Immersive Art Producer. She did so much more than just help women. She helped us too 🏳️🌈🏳️🌈
I was not a Barbara Walters fan, but I still watched most everything. I think Katie Couric used the word "unctuous" when describing Barbara's speaking style, and that word works for me. And some of Barbra's questions, especially to showbiz folk, OMG, ridiculous. Most people don't realize how petite Barbara Walters truly was. In person, she was a very small women, with a powerful stature. It really was remarkable, considering the men she was up against, and the men she had to overcome.
I remember when Jane Pauley replaced Walters on Today. I thought Pauley was too young (I was a college student), but I liked her. I’m glad she survived. But she never had the gravitas Walters had. For that, we looked to women TV reporters like Nancy Dickerson, Carol Simpson, and Cokie Roberts. This was a good tribute.
But Barbara was able to get Saddam Hussein to talk to her as well as Castro. Then the US politicians from Nixon, Johnson, I believe and Ford. Those with maybe Nancy Dickerson ladies couldn’t do the phones like Barbara could. Internationally, maybe the late Lisa Howard.
As you see the glowing tributes to Barbara Walters, please remember that she once served as a beard for Roy Cohn. That one act pretty much sums up what type of a person she was. Okay, the merits of dating a gay man in the late 1950s is debatable, as I can understand wanting to help a guy fit into society during a time of prejudice against homosexuals, but it brings up the question of her level of integrity, as this was clearly a qui-pro-quo act to help further her career, and also brings up the question of what level of journalism we will receive from this woman, since she was helping Roy Cohn perpetrate a lie. More importantly is the character of the man she chose to help. Roy Cohn was responsible for ruining countless lives as Joe McCarthy’s right-hand man in his hunt for communists, as well as McCarthy’s lesser-known crusade to drive homosexuals out of the federal government. (Ironic when you think of it.) In later years, Cohn became a mafia lawyer, was Donald Trump’s mentor, and was eventually disbarred because he got a dying client to change his will, leaving everything to him. Of course, when Walters was Cohn’s beard, he had only ruined people’s lives with the communist and homosexual witch hunt thing. All the other stuff would come later. Barbara Walters wasn’t a trailblazer. She was an opportunist. If she’s a role model, we are in big trouble. Read the play “Angels in America” to get a good handle on Roy Cohn’s personality.
She was never silly, and she presented herself as a serious and class act journalist. Barbara was very thorough in her research. I think would have done well in politics if she had wanted this as a career, for example, Secretary of State of Speaker of the House. Walter Conkrite had a high regard for her.
I remember watching Barbara and then Jane (a very worthy successor) on The Today Show when it was a serious news show. A far cry from today's morning circus.
The world will be a better place, when women can take their rightful place throughout a world, where they continue to be marginalized, persecuted and abused. Why not make better use of all of the Human Capital out there?
What a wonderful remembrance, Jane Pauley! You did it with the grace Barbara Walters deserved, and that it has been your trademark. Thank you!
Couldn't say it better. Everyone imitates a legend whether they mean to or not.
This was beautifully written and delivered. I love journalism. Real journalism. I loved Barbara's style also. I never missed her speacials. I will miss her, tho. RIP.
If you like real journalism, how could you like Barbara Walters?
What a tribute. The best I have watched.

Tremendous tribute to a woman who broke barriers. She was the most intriguing newswoman that I have ever seen.

Great send off Jane, you have been followed from Dallas

Simply, The Very Best of the Very Best. She was and is the standard for all to follow. Such class and tenacity. One of a kind.
This was a beautiful tribute
I’ve always enjoyed her one on one interviews. Hope many will be available to watch in the future. RIP
Lovely tribute. I always had an appreciation for Jane Pauley that none of those that followed her on the Today Show could match.
Beautiful, she opened the doors for so many women. I grew up watching her, my generation admired her. RIP
RIP Barbara Walters and you're a pioneer of the woman journalist

Fly high beautiful lady with the fighting spirit. You were a gift that you didn't know you were. I wonder 🤔, who was her 1st interview in heaven?
She is still setting it up. You know who it’s gonna be. A very famous father and son duo
Thank you Ms. Pauly, you are a legend in your own right, but, Barbara Walters is the Greatest of all time! We shall miss her, she opened the door and each one who followed never allowed it to close.

A heartfelt, true memoriam of a great person, without the pettiness. Kudos :)
RIP also to Pele. Pop saw him play in a Rio stadium in 69. Social activist, Demi God in Brazil. RIP.

Beautiful tribute... It brought tears to my eyes. Barbara Walters. R.I.P. 🙏💖
Beautifully delivered message...
Legend may she be flying high with all the angels🙏🙏🙏🙏
Jane was a great follow up after Barbara. Don't forget, Florence Henderson also was a host of on Today way before Barbara.!
It was a big wall she knocked down and more than a few men in the business as well. Bless you Barbara, from all us women.
That was very nice Miss Jane but please don't sell yourself short.
Longtime fanand admirer..
Be well
Be safe
Barbara Walters is probably interviewing famous celebs and politicians whom she missed while on earth. RIP Barbara Walters. She was a good journalist.
❤❤ Beautiful tribute.. #BarbaraWalters was truly amazing.

I loved Cokie Roberts. Carole Simpson and she were both class acts, so was Gwen Ifill.
ABC's Barbara Walters and, eventually, Carol Simpson were my role models and why I majored in journalism.

That was Sweet Jane👏👏👏
I think Jane Pauley is the GOAT. She's never been rude, using stereotypical questions for interviews.
And young women today just don’t realize it. They take the doors that have been opened by the Barbara Walters of the past for granted
She was never silly, and she presented herself as a serious and class act journalist. Barbara was very thorough in her research. I think would have done well in politics if she had wanted this as a career, for example, Secretary of State of Speaker of the House. Walter Conkrite had a high regard for her.
Good piece Jane. Well told and superbly written.
Jane, you're all we have now❤❤
Let's follow in Barbara's footsteps and lift each other up!👏🏼❤️💪🏼
Wow ..amazing a true pioneer !
2:25, 3:35 The Today girl! They are the co-hosts or anchor. And true Barbara Walters is the greatest of all time.
Facts!!!
If it isn't already, someday it will be a compliment to say that someone sounds like Jane Pauley. I wanted to be Tom Brokaw when I grew up!
I love Jane Pauley
West in peace, the wegendewy Baba.
BEAUTIFUL TRIBUTE FROM THE STILL BEAUTIFUL JANE PAULEY💞💯👍
Beautiful Rip Barbara Walters
Jane Pauley on Jane Pauley
Ugh!! Jane, you are so pretty❤❤❤❤
Thank you.

It's an attitude ....in the voice ..
Barbara was un-freaking believable. She DID NOT break glass ceilings; she OBLITERATED them !! Thank You Barbara. God bless you !!
Barbara Walter rlly the 🐐
You were every bit as good as Barbara Jane Pauly. Don’t doubt yourself.
Job complete ❤
Barbara welters was definitely the GOAT
Wow 😢😊 nice.
You knew you'd made it if she wanted to interview you.
All the greats are leaving us. Who will be left 20 years from now? So depressing
I remember watching Barbara and then Jane (a very worthy successor) on The Today Show when it was a serious news show. A far cry from today's morning circus.
Ever since orange city,fla uve been my death angel now i hav 3..u,stenbock and barrymore oh my and hsn too.
The world will be a better place, when women can take their rightful place throughout a world, where they continue to be marginalized, persecuted and abused. Why not make better use of all of the Human Capital out there?
Mantap👌👍✊
Barbara Walters: The GOAT!
I was honestly shocked to find out she was still alive! I thought she died years ago!
All of the young ladies in college now going for a degree in the news industry now have someone to keep in mind.
