The rulebreaker The life and times of Barbara Walters
Large print - 2024
"Barbara Walters was a force from the time TV was exploding on the American scene in the 1960s to its waning dominance in a world of streaming services half a century later. She expanded the big TV interview and then dominated the genre. By the end of her career, she had interviewed more of the famous and infamous than any other journalist in history. At sixty-seven she pioneered a new form of TV talk called The View. The Rulebreaker is the eye-opening account of the woman who knew she had to break all the rules so she could break all the rules about what viewers deserved to know"--
