Pioneer and television icon Barbara Walters has died at the age of 93. With over fifty years of experience in broadcast — bringing the world some of the most iconic interviews — Walters was the first female U.S. network news anchor.

Setting a new standard in an industry largely made up of men in the ’70s, Walters rose to stardom from her celebrated interviews and quickly became a household name — her 12 Emmy awards are a testament to that. From her work at NBC, and four decades at ABC, Walters also filled the role of co-host of 20/20 before launching The View.

Walters’ publicist Cindi Berger’s statement reads, “She lived her life with no regrets. She was a trailblazer not only for female journalists, but for all women.” Walters died peacefully at her home in New York.
