How did Barbara Walters break through the glass ceiling and maintain her pioneering role in TV for four decades? Storyteller Jenny Riddle presents her dramatic review of Barbara Walters' AUDITION.
Was Barbara Walters just lucky or did she create her “luck” with hard work and chutzpah? How did she get that first big interview with Barbra Streisand and her live-in hairdresser, Jon Peters? We’ve all seen Walters doing her thing with interviews and news shows, but how about a close-up of Barbara Walters off-camera? Jenny Riddle's dramatic review gives us intimate details about the first woman co-anchor on prime-time news and the most celebrated interviewer in TV history.
