We All Loved to Watch Her Unique Interviews: This Is Barbara Walters

Barbara Walters Hates to Be Interviewed

Here’s something that may come off as ironic or completely unsurprising: Barbara Walters doesn’t like to be interviewed. In fact, she announced it often during an interview she had with Vanity Fair in 2014, the year she announced her retirement. For a woman who spent most of her life interviewing others, it makes a heck of a lot of sense that she doesn’t like being on the receiving end.

“I hate it,” were her words. She continued, “You will find that I’m very hard to interview.” But how could Barbara Walters possibly think that she could go without ever being interviewed? After all, she’s been one of, if not THE most famous television interviewers we’ve ever known.
