Bill Geddie, a close colleague and longtime producer for Barbara Walters, is remembering the late icon.
During an appearance on Monday’s Good Morning America, Geddie reflected on working with Walters, who passed away on Friday at the age of 93.
“I’m trying to move past the mourning phase into the celebration of life phase,” Geddie told Robin Roberts. “It’s an amazing life and it needs to be celebrated.”
Geddie began working with Walters in 1988 on her television specials and they later teamed to create The View in 1997. When Roberts asked what the working atmosphere was like for women at the time, Geddie acknowledged that Walters would not only be subjected to sexism but ageism as well.

One of the leading British film critics of the postwar years who went on to write crime novels
iThe writer Margaret Hinxman, who has died aged 94, was one of the influential band of female critics who did much to encourage film in postwar Britain. She enjoyed a long and productive career on numerous magazines, including the influential Picturegoer, two national newspapers, the Sunday Telegraph and Daily Mail, and as a writer of fiction.
Following the doyennes of the profession Dilys Powell and CA Lejeune, who came from a slightly earlier generation, Hinxman’s contemporaries included the Sight and Sound editor Penelope Houston, Nina Hibben of the Morning Star, the magazine contributors Isabel Quigley, Virginia Graham, Maryvonne Butcher and Freda Bruce Lockhart, and the essayist Penelope Gilliatt. However, in later years their influence was blunted by a rise in testosterone-fuelled violence and numbing special effects in popular cinema.

Patricia Neal was one of those performers – e.g., Jean Arthur, Anne Bancroft – whose film career didn't start out all that well, but who, by way of Broadway, managed to both revive and magnify their Hollywood stardom. As part of its “Summer Under the Stars” series, Turner Classic Movies is dedicating Sunday, Aug. 16, '15, to Patricia Neal. This evening, TCM is showing three of her best-known films, in addition to one TCM premiere and an unusual latter-day entry. 'The Day the Earth Stood Still' Robert Wise was hardly a genre director. A former editor (Citizen Kane, The Magnificent Ambersons...
