This is so sad, especially for Barbara Walters...as they were BEST FRIENDS. It has been a rough year for her and Beverly was there for her difficult times with the show and all. It was wonderful to see Beverly with her on the BEST FRIENDS SHOW on The View last year. I haven't seen Barbara have such a good time on the show in a very long time OR EVER!
