The latest documentary on Barbara Walters provides a glimpse into the renowned news journalist’s life, highlighting a playful on-air exchange with Clint Eastwood that caught her off guard. During a 1982 interview at Eastwood’s California ranch, he shared his reluctance to express his feelings, even to romantic partners. Walters playfully prodded him about this, causing Eastwood to suggest they try a relationship. This unexpected moment briefly flustered Walters, leading to a lighthearted exchange before they both burst into laughter. In a later revelation on The Tonight Show, Walters shared that Eastwood had asked her out after the interview, but she declined due to work commitments. Reflecting on the missed opportunity, Walters humorously remarked, “I could have been Mrs. Clint Eastwood!” The documentary, “Barbara Walters: Tell Me Everything,” delves into her personal life and relationships, with insights from those close to her.
