LOS ANGELES — From Taylor Swift to Donald Trump, the Kardashians, and the Menendez brothers, what do they share? They’ve all been part of an impactful Barbara Walters interview.
Barbara Walters didn’t just report the news – she made news.
ABC News Studios’ feature-length documentary, “Barbara Walters Tell Me Everything,” delves into the legendary broadcaster’s significant role in journalism’s history and her trailblazing influence on women in the field.
Directed by Emmy-winning filmmaker and journalist Jackie Jesko, and produced by Brian Grazer and Ron Howard’s Imagine Documentaries—the team behind the 2024 Emmy Award-winning Best Documentary, “Jim Henson Idea Man”—the film debuts on Hulu on June 23.
From her groundbreaking career to her personal life, the documentary will give viewers a raw and intimate look at Walters’ life, as she paved her own way in a male-dominated industry. A trailblazer and trendsetter, Walters “reflects on the high price of fame and the legacy she hoped to inspire.”
The documentary features interviews with Oprah Winfrey, Bob Iger, Andy Cohen and Katie Couric.
“ABC News broke new ground by hiring Barbara and putting a woman at the anchor desk which was the exclusive preserve of men,” said David Sloan, senior executive producer, ABC News. “Her road was filled with peril and naysayers and navigating that was not without personal costs. Nevertheless, Barbara created a dazzling career that had no blueprint and changed broadcast journalism forever.”
“Barbara Walters Tell Me Everything” premieres June 12 at the 2025 Tribeca Festival in New York, and will begin streaming June 23 on Hulu.
The Walt Disney Company is the parent company of Hulu and this ABC station.
