WASHINGTON, D.C. (CNN) — Longtime ABC News personality Barbara Walters was being treated for a cut on her forehead Sunday after a fall in Washington, the network said.
Walters, 83, suffered the cut after falling on a stair Saturday evening while visiting the British ambassador’s residence, ABC News Senior Vice President Jeffrey Schneider said in a statement.
“Out of an abundance of caution, she went to the hospital to have her cut tended to, have a full examination and remains there for observation,” Schneider said.
“Barbara is alert (and telling everyone what to do), which we all take as a very positive sign.”
Walters spent two decades as co-host and correspondent for ABC’s news magazine show “20/20.” She still reports on occasion.
Since 1997, she has been co-host of ABC’s daytime talk show “The View.”

Barbara, you're 83 now. Put the booze down when you're near any stairs honey. I'm sure she is telling eveyone what to do, most obnoxious jews do, and SHE certainly is one.

Your prejudice is showing and it's not very flattering. Older people have balance issues. That's all there is to it.
