Barbara, I remember working out in your living room in 1980’s. I can still feel the burn, says Arianna, in her unmistakable accent.
Arianna dedicates “this amazing award” to our fearlessness. When we hear voices in our heads that we’re not good enough, not smart enough, not pretty enough. I persevered. I dedicate this to all of us who left relationships that weren’t working… I’m here today because a man refused to marry me, she adds.
I would not be here w/o my tribe of women, starting with my sister who is here today. My mother who stood up to the Nazis and to my philandering father who said he didn’t want her interfering with his private life!!!! (How do you like that excuse, ladies?)

Barbara Walters, no one like her
in an off-white suit. Cindy’s in a white suit, too.
I love and respect Rosie, says Barbara. We have different “views,” she adds. (gets a laugh; wonder why)
I have known Arianna for something like 27 years. Barbara says she’s godmother to one of Arianna’s daugthers. “Always a godmother, never a god!” she jokes.

Great marriage, great kids, great career.
Meredith says she feels like a bit of a fraud, because she didn’t know what she wanted to do professionally when she was younger.
She said she was the victim of circumstances–and of a vagina. Lesson No. 2, your vagina can open doors, she adds.
Meredith’s dad is Ed; four Matrix winners this year have dads named Ed or Eddy.
Meredith’s parting words: Above all else, believe in yourself, and the rest will take care of itself.

is Joy Behar, says Rosie.
Years ago, Joy says, Katharine Hepburn told Dick Cavett on his TV show that women can’t have it all. But Meredith Vieira did, adds the comic.
An aside: It’s legendary that Meredith doesn’t wear underwear, adds Joy. Hold on!!!! She wears PANTYHOSE instead.

He-e-e-r-e-s, Hillary.
Hillary says she’s here to pay a debt. Fifteen years ago, I hired a young woman to be my press secretary, my first. The young woman was Lisa Caputo, the next Matrix winner to be announced.
When she left the White House, our relationship changed and blossomed, says the senator. I would not be anywhere else in the world today, she adds, than to present the award to Lisa.
“Thank you, President Clinton,” quips Lisa, stepping up to the podium.
Use humor to diffuse tough situations, Lisa learned from a former boss, not from Hillary, but a Michigan congressman. Although Lisa noted, Hillary as First Lady, garnered headlines by changing her hairstyle. (Will this ever change?)

…says Martha, in reference to her and Susan’s relationship.
Susan talks about her seamless life, until 3 years ago, when she was forced out at ABC. Turned out to be “amazingly liberating,” she says.
Rosie has Susan’s four daughters stand.

The taste of lemon…
is what Martha missed in prison, Rosie says Martha told her.
It’s a good thing that Martha is up, to present for Susan Lyne.
Martha mentions when Susan visited her in prison in Alderson, W.Va. No biz talk was allowed in prison, so the two played cards and Scrabble.
Wardrobe alert: Martha great in reddish-brown pantsuit and pumps and a golden necklace. Is it amber, quartz or gold? Doesn’t matter. It’s beautiful. Class act.

A luncheon with a magical writer
Joan Didion only had one “real job,” she says, which she won in college. She worked at Vogue for seven years.
What an ensemble! She’s wearing red lace-ups, black opaques, a checked blazer, and beige scarf…Love the shoes.

I feel bad about my neck…
Nora Ephron talks about Joan Didion in a seriously backless dress…at their first meeting.
I have never let anything interfere with my first impression of Joan, Nora adds.
Can you imagine Joan driving around L.A. at 85 mph in a yellow Corvette?
