“Barbara Walters passed away peacefully in her home surrounded by loved ones. She lived her life with no regrets. She was a trailblazer not only for female journalists but for all women,” Berger told CNN.
Walters is hailed as a journalistic pioneer. She broke the glass ceiling in a male-dominated industry by becoming the first female anchor of the Evening News program on ABC News in 1976. Over her decades-long career, she became a trailblazer and icon in journalism, especially for women. She launched 'The View' in 1997, which is still successful today.
Over the years, Walters has conducted a wealth of noteworthy interviews, including with Richard Nixon, John Wayne, Fidel Castro, Monica Lewinsky. Her last on-air interview was with former president Donald Trump in 2015.
She is survived by her daughter, Jacqueline ("Jackie") Danforth.
"She lived a big life," Berger told PEOPLE.
