Synopsis
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.
