Barbara Walters, one of American television's most prominent interviewers and the first woman to anchor a US evening news broadcast, has died at 93, US broadcaster ABC News reports.

abc.net.au/news/barbara-walters-dead-aged-93/101819208Barbara Walters, a pioneer as US television news' first woman superstar, has died, according to American TV network ABC News. She was 93.

Walters made headlines in 1976 as the first female US network news anchor, with an unprecedented $US1 million annual salary that drew gasps and criticism . Her drive was legendary as she competed — not just with rival networks, but with colleagues at her own network — for each big "get" in a world jammed with more and more interviewers, including female journalists who had followed on the trail she blazed."I always thought I'd be a writer for television. I never even thought I'd be in front of a camera.""I'm not afraid when I'm interviewing, I have no fear," Walters told The Associated Press in 2008.
