FILE - This June 3, 1975 file photo shows Television newswoman Barbara Walters reacting as she addresses staff members from the NBC "Today" show during a farewell party in the studios in New York after her final live appearance on the show. Walters left to join ABC as co-host and anchorwoman of the rival networks' evening news program. On Friday, May 16, 2014, capping a spectacular half-century run she began as the so-called "Today" Girl, Walters will exit ABC's "The View." Behind the scenes she will remain as an executive producer of the New York-based talk show she created 17 years ago, and make ABC News appearances as events warrant and stories catch her interest.
