How did Barbara Walters cut through that glass ceiling and manage to be on the cutting edge of television performance for 40 years? Was she just lucky–or did she create her “luck” with hard work and chutzpah? And how did she get that first big interview with Barbra Streisand and her live-in hairdresser, Jon Peters? We’ve all seen Walters doing her thing with interviews and news shows. But how about a close-up of Barbara Walters off-camera? Jenny Riddle gives us just that and more in her dramatic review, “Barbara Walters’ AUDITION.” You’re going to learn some intimate details about this woman who was the first woman co-anchor on prime time news and who was the most celebrated interviewer in TV history.

The novel, Audition: A Memoir by Barbara Walters, can be found in our library catalog.
