It's the new documentary about the life of the legendary Barbara Walters.
It's been 2 years since the TV Trailblazers death at age 93.
Barbara lived in a 15 million dollar apartment on New York's Fifth Avenue.
Her final days were difficult.
She suffered from dementia and remained out of the public eye.
Her bedroom was turned into a hospital room.
This was the last known photo taken of her in 2016.
During her long career, she became known for big get interviews.
Renowned for asking the questions everyone wanted to know but were afraid to ask.
"Martha, why do so many people hate you?"
Taylor Swift never liked talking about her love life. Too bad!
"I know you don't want to talk about guys, and I won't push it, but how you going to find anybody?"
And you almost feel sorry for the Kardashian clan.
"You don't really act. You don't sing. You don't dance."
"You don't have any, forgive me, any talent."
She was also honest about herself.
"I was never beautiful."
"If I had been a dog, I mean, maybe they wouldn't have put me on television,"
"but I mean, nobody ever put me on because I was beautiful or glamorous."
On her last day on The View in 2014, the nation's best known female TV journalist paid homage to the retiring host.
Over the years, she interviewed Donald Trump many times.
"People don't think you show any humility."
Her last interview took place in 2015 with Trump.
"Are you sure that you can beat Hillary Clinton?"
"I think I will beat Hillary very easily."
