BARBARA WALTERS | 92

Walters is a television personality, a broadcast journalist, and an author. She gained fame mostly from hosting television programs like The View, ABC Evening News, and 20/20. Walters remains an inspiration and a pioneer for women in the industry as she is the first female co-anchor of the network evening news, and the first woman to co-host NBC’s The Today Show, among other feats. In 1996, she made it into the top 50 Greatest TV Stars of All Time.

Walters started receiving recognition in 1985 when she won the Paul White Award given by the Radio Television Digital News Association. To top it all off, she also received a Lifetime Achievement Award for her many industry accomplishments. It has been reported that her health is on the decline leading us to assume that she is already on a health insurance plan. Being free of financial worries at this point will make it easier for her to cope with her health.
