She was one of a kind. I never saw her as a newscaster, but I enjoyed her many interviews. I also never saw her on The View. I was never home to watch it. Now I imagine it's far from the discussion show Barbara started.

Two icons - both in their 90's, and both leaving us at the end of the year. Betty White died a year ago tomorrow.

Two major losses in TV history.

Channel 7 is doing a big tribute to her. I always liked her and the View of years ago. May she rest in piece.

She loved her dog cha cha and always spoke with a lot of love for it.

Hopefully they are together over the Rainbow Bridge.

Y'know. "The View" just finished celebrating their 25th year!

Off the top of my head, I cant think of any woman, who put together a show that lasted for a min of 25 yrs.

She did a lot for women, without even necessarily being deemed "for the cause.".

She "broke ground."

Barbara Walters, an intelligent knowledgeable news woman, her interviews famous and so well done. As someone who once wanted to be a journalist, I always admired Barbara and what she accomplished in her career. Her legacy will live on. May she be at peace with God.

A trailblazer whose guts and brio made so much possible for the female journalists who followed her.

How well I remember how Harry Reasoner loathed having her as his co-anchor. In the end, whose footprint was larger and more influential?

Just figured she had passed yrs ago.

No doubt The View will do a wonderful tribute to her when they return after their break, probably Tuesday. I expect to see a review of some remarkable shows over the years, maybe various guests who had close relationships with her. It should be truly special. I'm so sorry she was afflicted with dementia, such a cruelty to a gifted personality. Lucky are the aged ones who escape it.

So sad! I really liked her and she was certainly one of a kind. A true pioneer for women in journalism.

She seemed like she had been doing well for such a long time but I was saddened to hear a few years ago that she had dementia.

RIP Barbara.

Saw that on the news earlier tonight. She was a great journalist and a pioneer for women in the field of TV broadcasting. I watched her on her many different shows, including the specials she had after she "semi-retired".

Journalism lost a great lady, as did everyone she touched over her decades of work. Condolences to her family.

Rest in Peace Barbara 🙏 ❤

Her early work was admirable but I didn't like her later persona. She was sassy especially after founding The View. I will say though rest in peace, Barbara.

I saw this before I went to bed last night.

I didn't realize she was 93. What an incredible life she lived. I didn't really appreciate who she was until I was in my teens/early 20s. During that time I really enjoyed watching her interviews.

It's so scary to me that so many people I grew up watching are now passing away. They have always been there and it seemed like they would be around forever. I'm still not over Betty White.

Sad news, but what a remarkable life she led! She soared high in a man's world of journalism. Seems we're losing all our real journalists who reported the actual news and not their individual opinions. I never think of her without thinking of the good ole days of Saturday Night Live when Gilda Radner played Barbara Wawa! May she rest in eternal peace.
