Barbara Walters Interviews Monica Lewinsky

Barbara Walters’s interview with Monica Lewinsky in 1999 drew a record audience for a news interview. About 74 million people tuned in to ABC to watch Walters ask Lewinsky about her affair with President Bill Clinton. Lewinsky spoke candidly about the relationship, apologizing to Hilary and Chelsea Clinton, and to the nation as a whole. Since the end of his presidency, Bill Clinton has fairly successfully reinvented his image, but Lewinsky has had a much more difficult road to recovery. The Barbara Walters interview was one of the first opportunities she got to tell her side of the story in depth. Culled from: tvinsider.com
