Melissa Claire Egan paid tribute to Barbara Walters who passed at the age of 93. Egan who is known for her role as Chelsea Lawson on The Young and the Restless had the pleasure of co-hosting The View with Walters. Egan co-hosted two episodes of the hit daytime television talk show, one in 2007 and one in 2009. She said, “I’m so sad to hear about the passing of the legendary Barbara Walters. One of my biggest honors was co-hosting The View with her and her asking me “what I’m looking for” in a man. She was an icon and a legend and I’m proud I got to shake her hand. May she Rest In Peace.”

Walters is a legend. She is a television icon and pioneer who created The View. We send our condolences to her family and friends. See her touching post below.
