Barbara Walters, the trailblazing, pioneering TV journalist – a woman who paved the way for many female anchors and journalists, and interviewed many big names like Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton, Naomi Campbell, etc., passed away on Friday in Manhattan. Walters had the skill of also getting her interviewer to cry during the interview. She was that good of a journalist. Walters was 93 years old. 

Walters graduated from Sarah Lawrence College with a bachelor’s degree in English and broke into journalism as an assistant at NBC affiliate WRCA-TV. Her big breakthrough came with an assignment to travel with Jacqueline Kennedy on the first lady’s trip to India in 1962.

Walters joined ABC News in 1976, becoming the first female anchor on an evening news program. Three years later, she became a co-host of “20/20,” and in 1997, she launched “The View.” The show is still going strong 25 years later. 

Throughout five decades of her career, Walters won 12 Emmy awards, 11 of those while at ABC News.

The King of Soccer made his journey to heaven.

Pelé, the Brazilian soccer legend and one of the greatest of all time, who won three World Cups and became the sport’s first global icon, has passed away at 82.

Pelé was admitted to a hospital in São Paulo in late November for a respiratory infection and complications related to colon cancer.

In 1999, Pele was named Athlete of the Century and was included in the Time list of the 100 most influential people of the 20th century. Pele accomplished a lot throughout his career and is one of the most respected athletes in soccer history. He scored 1,279 goals in 1,363 games. Rest In Peace, Pele.
