The documentary "Barbara Walters Tell Me Everything" is streaming on Hulu, detailing the late journalist’s impactful career and personal struggles as a pioneering woman in journalism. The film, directed by Jackie Jesko and produced by Brian Grazer and Ron Howard, showcases archival footage and interviews with notable figures. It reveals Walters’ reflections on fame and her legacy, emphasizing that her accomplishments were largely for her own professional fulfillment rather than a conscious effort to pave the way for other women, as discussed by Jesko regarding Walters' motivations.
'She's mentioned in the same sentence as feminist icons, but she wasn't a crusader. She wasn't Gloria Steinem,' Jesko told Variety ahead of the doc's Tribeca premiere.
'We shouldn't require that of our feminist icons,' the director said. 'She made it possible for other women, and she loved that once she realized it, but it wasn't what drove her.'
