LOS ANGELES — Various high-profile figures, ranging from Taylor Swift to Donald Trump, the Kardashians, and the Menendez brothers, share a common connection through the impactful interviews conducted by Barbara Walters.
Barbara Walters didn’t just report the news – she made news.
The documentary “Barbara Walters Tell Me Everything” by ABC News Studios delves into the significant role played by the broadcasting icon in the history of journalism, highlighting her groundbreaking path for women in the field.
Directed by Emmy-winning filmmaker and journalist Jackie Jesko, the film is a production of Brian Grazer and Ron Howard’s Imagine Documentaries, known for their Emmy Award-winning documentary “Jim Henson Idea Man” in 2024. Scheduled for release on June 23, the documentary will premiere on Hulu.
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.
