NEW YORK (AP) - Veteran ABC newswoman Barbara Walters has fallen at
an inauguration party in Washington and has been hospitalized.
ABC News spokesman Jeffrey Schneider says the
83-year-old Walters fell Saturday night on a step at the residence of
Britain's ambassador to the United States, Peter Westmacott. The fall
left Walters with a cut on her forehead.
Schneider said Sunday "out of an abundance of
caution" Walters went to a hospital for treatment of the cut and for a
full examination. He says Walters is alert "and telling everyone what to
do," which is "a very positive sign."
It's unclear when Walters might be released from the hospital, which ABC hasn't identified.
Walters was TV news' first female superstar, making
headlines in 1976 as a network anchor with an unprecedented $1 million
annual salary.
