Wow! After a stunning career newswoman Barbara Walters is retiring.
I remember her being on 20/20 as a kid. While I'm not a particular fan, nor do I dislike Barbara Walters - there always was a certain, shall we say, familiar comfort to seeing her face on TV.
What an interesting life she must have had to this point. I do wonder what she will do that can possibly compare now that she is retired. I will miss knowing that she is on TV but she deserves this break.
Enjoy your retirement, Barbara, you have earned it.
ABC has thrown her a week-long goodbye party to mark her retirement. But the TV legend is hinting her future plans could involve creating new shows.

Yes, she was amazing. Did they say who was going to replace her?

It's about time, I was wondering when she was going to do that.

@FayeHazel I have often wondered why those that have made a ton of money don't just retire. See the world, have some fun. But I guess it's just those of us who don't have a ton of money who think like that.

I wonder about the ROlling stones next, but I don't think they'll quit

@FayeHazel I seem to recall snippets of her appearing on the news here, usually over some awkward question for a politician

I'm surprised you've heard of her. Here, she is really famous for being a journalist/TV news reporter - has done so many famous interviews...

At 87 years old I guess it is time retire and enjoy the rest of her life. She probably won't know what to do with herself because she has been doing that for so long. I wish her all the best in her retirement.

I think you're on to something - I wonder if "real" life will feel strange or boring for her. I wonder what she will take up

She has been around for such a long time. I remember her when I was a child.
