The legend of ABC died in New York City. Barbara had stopped living in the public eye several years ago. She hadn't been seen in a long time.

Barbara's career was catapulted by her coverage of the assassination of JFK. She came on-air to give a man's perspective from New York City.

She went on to become one of the longest-serving journalists in the game, first working for NBC's "Today" show as a writer and researcher, and later becoming their first female co host.

In 1976, Barbara got a job at ABC. She was the first woman to anchor a network news show, but her co host didn't like it and it made it hard for her to succeed. She appeared on the show for decades and became a fixture and regular contributor.

Some of her biggest interviews were featured on "20/20," as well as other shows, which included notable face-to-face conversations with people like Monica Lewinsky, Patrick Swayze, and Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak. There is a list going on and on.

Her other accomplishments include co-created and cohosted ABC's popular daytime talk show, "The View", which became one of her main focuses after leaving "20/20" in 2004. After her official send-off on "The View", she made guest appearances.

Donald Trump was Barbara's final interviewer. In 2016 she hadn't been seen much since. She signed autographs when she was on camera.

She'd been married four times and had dated some very high-profile people, including notorious McCarthy-era attorney Roy Cohn.

Over the years, Barbara was portrayed on 'SNL' by many different cast members. She appeared on 'Weekend Update' spoofing herself.

She received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2007. Barbara has won many awards over the course of her career.
