Barbara Walters
Risk 100Broadcast journalist
The queen of the celebrity interview spent six decades getting everyone from world leaders to Hollywood icons to spill their secrets on camera—and she did it while smashing glass ceilings as the first female co-anchor of a network evening news program. From Today to 20/20 to co-creating The View, Barbara Walters built an empire on making powerful people uncomfortable in the best possible way. At 93, the Television Hall of Famer has been notably absent from public life since her 2014 retirement, leaving fans wondering if she's simply enjoying her privacy or something more.
