Review

"[A] legitimately star-studded autobiography...[Nearly achieves] the stature of Katharine Graham's PERSONAL HISTORY the book that set the high-water mark for memoirs of the politically and socially well-connected."

First line

Throughout American history, presidential administrations have undergone tumultuous periods of war and scandal.

Publisher's note

In a riveting and candid memoir, the acclaimed television journalist chronicles the people, events, and forces that have shaped her life and career, from childhood to the present day, discussing her relationships with men, family, friends, coworkers, and rivals; her struggle to make it in a man's world; and the interviews she has conducted during her forty-year-career. 750,000 first printing.

Annotation

One could hardly imagine a more celebrated and notorious cast of characters--presidents and queens, killers and psychopaths--than the ones populating Barbara Walters's remarkable biography, AUDITION, yet it is Walters herself who emerges as one of the most fascinating of the bunch. A fiercely ambitious woman who broke all the rules in the gender-biased world of journalism, Walter has the ability to remain poised and charming while exposing her interview subjects' deepest secrets: it's this that has made her a revered icon in television. Her worldly, fearless, and at times scandalous biography (Walters admits freely to her affairs, including one with a married senator) simultaneously reveals Walter's personal victories and paints a compelling portrait of the people whose lives helped shape the 20th century.
