Members SnCCorinthos4ever Posted September 20, 2006 Members Share Posted September 20, 2006 Story Walters to interview Terri September 20, 2006 12:00am AMERICAN news queen Barbara Walters has scored an exclusive TV interview with Terri and Bindi Irwin. Walters will fly to Australia tomorrow for a sit down interview with Steve Irwin's wife and eight-year-old daughter for a one-hour special to be aired on America's ABC TV network next week. Walters, 74, said Irwin's son, Bob, two, would not take part. "I'm going to go to Brisbane, Australia, to do an interview with Terri Irwin and with their little girl, Bindi," Walters announced today. "The little boy is too young." The interview is a worldwide coup for Walters and America's ABC TV network following the freak September 4 stingray death of Irwin on the Great Barrier Reef. "His wife has not talked to anyone about this," Walters said. Walters said topics she would discuss with Terri include what her relationship was like with her husband and how she was told of his death. "It's an assignment I'm absolutely thrilled to have," Walters said. "I think people want to know more about him. "It was a tragic case." The one-hour special will be aired in the US next Wednesday (September 27) and should reap huge ratings for ABC as Irwin, through his Crocodile Hunter documentaries, was a much-loved TV star in America. Walters announced she had scored the exclusive interview today on her morning TV talkshow in the US, The View. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Scotty Posted September 20, 2006 Members Share Posted September 20, 2006 I know it's sad to say, but I had much more respect for Barbara Walters before she started 'The View'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SnCCorinthos4ever Posted September 20, 2006 Author Members Share Posted September 20, 2006 I know what you mean. I love her interviews when it is just her and the interviewee, but on The View when ever I watch it it is like it is like it is two different people.

Members darraholic Posted September 20, 2006 Members Share Posted September 20, 2006 Too bad Star Jones couldn't of landed the interview. The look on Babs face would be priceless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Toadstool Posted September 20, 2006 Members Share Posted September 20, 2006 It's true. On The View she almost comes across as a batty, forgetful old lady, not a onetime interviewer of world leaders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
