Barbara Walters, journalist and author of "Audition: A Memoir," will speak with Judy Muller, journalist, on Tuesday, May 13, 2008 at the Writers Guild Theater as part of TOWN HALL's ongoing Writers Bloc series.
In her book, "Audition: A Memoir," Walters reveals the whole package of her career, beginning with her childhood, and describing the ups and downs throughout her life. She tells the story of overcoming struggles and gaining success as a woman in a male-dominated industry.
Walters was with RCA-TV and CBS before joining NBC's Today Show as a writer in 1961. She later co-hosted the Today Show, ABC's 20/20, and now The View, where she also serves as Executive Producer.
Muller of ABC News is a professor at USC's Annenberg School for Communication. She has worked in television and radio news for more than 30 years. Muller is a regular contributor to NPR's Morning Edition, and appears on CBS News Sunday Morning and CBS Weekend News.
Throughout its 70 year history, TOWN HALL has hosted discussions with notable authors such as Carl Sagan, Ray Bradbury and Gore Vidal. This year, TOWN HALL's Writer's Bloc series has included comedian and author Steve Martin, political commentator E.J. Dionne, and will welcome back Gore Vidal on June 24.
