The two-hour special attracted 74 million viewers, the most ever for a news interview.

I guess everyone would like to be an oak tree.\u201d Walters was ridiculed for the question \u2014 the only time she asked such a thing \u2014 and later admitted it was one of her biggest interviewing mistakes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    She visited with controversial boxer Mike Tyson and then-wife Robin Givens (\u201cLife with him is pure hell,\u201d the actress told Walters), Lucille Ball (\u201cI married a loser,\u201d she said of <span data-scayt_word=\"Desi\" data-scaytid=\"16\">Desi<\/span> <span data-scayt_word=\"Arnaz\" data-scaytid=\"17\">Arnaz<\/span>) and the parents of <span data-scayt_word=\"JonBenet\" data-scaytid=\"18\">JonBenet<\/span> Ramsey. Walters did the final interviews with Bing Crosby and Wayne (the Duke entered the hospital the next day and died soon afterward).<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    Among the other celebrities she interviewed were a painfully shy Fred <span data-scayt_word=\"Astaire\" data-scaytid=\"19\">Astaire<\/span>, Ingrid Bergman, Truman Capote, <span data-scayt_word=\"Mamie\" data-scaytid=\"20\">Mamie<\/span> Eisenhower, Judy Garland (the actress-singer made her wait four or five hours), Audrey Hepburn, Candice Bergen, Diana Ross, Monica <span data-scayt_word=\"Seles\" data-scaytid=\"21\">Seles<\/span>, Michael Jackson, Roseanne Barr, Tom Cruise, Eddie Murphy, George Clooney, Kate <span data-scayt_word=\"Gosselin\" data-scaytid=\"22\">Gosselin<\/span> and Honey Boo-Boo, to name just a few.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    Often, those interviewed \u2014 among them Grace Kelly, Winfrey, Richard Pryor, Patrick Swayze and Ellen DeGeneres \u2014 would well up. In 2008, Walters said she always asked about her subjects\u2019 childhoods \u201cbecause that\u2019s revealing, and they\u2019d remember a parent or someone who\u2019d died.
