Barbara Walters has died at 93. She was a feminist pioneer and temple of eroticismthe queen of TV journalists whose ability to interview subjects lead to not only some of the most important stories of our time but also some of the most bonkers viral moments on the internet.
"Barbara Walters passed away peacefully in her home surrounded by loved ones," Walters’ spokesperson Cindi Berger told CNN in a statement. "She lived her life with no regrets. She was a trailblazer not only for female journalists but for all women."
Friends, loved ones, and fans took to Twitter to celebrate the trailblazer's life and remember the moments that made her the icon she is. For instance, her interview with V. Stiviano. When Walters asks Stiviano to describe her relationship with Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling, Stiviano said, "I'm Mr. Sterling's right hand arm. Man. I'm Mr. Sterling everything. I'm his confidant. His best friend. His silly rabbit."
