Walters’ friend remembered the later broadcast journalist Make her feelings For a Sawyer is known.
“Certainly she was gone by the very existence of Diane. He often said, ‘Diane was the perfect woman.’ The word goddess used a yellow.
Another person who worked with Walters noted, “He could not tolerate having Diane Sawyer arising in what she saw as a direct challenge to what he had achieved. What sadness. I think he was torn into each of her own parts where she felt like a child and she was someone from the outside. In some strange way, Diane made her feel all those insecurities.”
