OPRAH'S CUT WITH BARBARA WALTERS
She's sat down with world leaders, probed the inner lives of presidents, interrogated film stars, gotten the unguarded truth out of royalty, and inspired generations of female TV journalists, including a young Oprah Winfrey. On a beautiful, sunny afternoon, in her living room overlooking Central Park, a broadcasting legend opens up about her life, her passions, her peaks, her regrets—and, yes, she makes Oprah cry. Listen in.
"When I was 17, I entered the local Miss Fire Prevention Contest. I knew the judges would ask what I hoped to do with my life, and I'd planned to say, 'I want to become a fourth-grade teacher.' But I'd seen the Today show that morning, and it popped into my head to say my goal was to be a TV journalist. 'What kind of journalist?' one of the judges pressed. I've never forgotten my answer: 'I want to be like Barbara Walters.'" — Oprah
